I would say that you should make the ambiguous single-param case
illegal.
For one of the examples you say:
> for i in zip(a):
Why would you ever do that??? The only way that would make sense to me
if
zip([[1],[2]])==zip([1],[2]), which I would dislike.
Use zip(*[[1],[2]]) instead.

It's difficult to extract sense from strings, but they're the only
communication coin we can count on.
