it doesn't complicate the argument-passing in any way at all -- it complicates
the reverse engineering code a bit, though, since it has to convert the bytecode
for

    def f(tmp):
        a, b = tmp
        ...

back to the original source form

    def f((a, b)):
        ...

but that has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with how argument passing
works at run time.
