correct.

Consider the following code:

  a, b = [1, 2, 3]

Here the iterable on the right side contains more items than the set 
of target variables on the left side.
A similar ValueError exception ("not enough values to unpack") is raised for
the oppsite problematic situation.

Probably the macro call parser in munin does not check its input in a way that
would allow to emit error messages that point at the specific source of the
problem.

Cheers,
Lars
