are you suggesting slowing things down just because of a bug in the 
documentation ?   you cannot return an uninitialized list object to 
Python anyway, so there's no need to add extra checks to a function 
that's *documented* to be the equivalent of a *Python-level* sequence 
assignment.

the "I spent time debugging this, so now everyone should suffer" 
approach doesn't strike me as very Pythonic.
