A small inconsistency in syntax?

[Brian Quinlan]

I could want to write:
a = ['x value','y value','z value'] = x

Here the intermediate list is doing 3 things for me:

1. it's providing documentation
2. it's forcing the sequence type to be of length 3
3. it's making the type assigned to 'a' a list
