[issue46385] Remove parenthetical symbols for readability and nlp

[Dennis Sweeney]

"Removing tuples" would be highly backwards-incompatible, as millions of programs rely on tuples, and we can't break them for no reason.

Not true: tuples are hashable, so they can be used as keys in dicts and sets, while lists cannot.

The Python-Ideas mailing list, rather than this bug tracker, is probably a better location for these sorts of proposals, so I'll close this for now, but this ticket can be re-opened if you can arrive at some sort of consensus with others on that list.
