What does "enabling c[:]()" mean?  Do you expect after "enabling it"
``c()`` and ``c[:]()`` to be different for the same list or tuple `c`?

This isn't a use case unless you also say what the involved objects are
and what semantic you expect from this source snippet.  Just guessing,
but might the following do what you want without the need to make lists
and tuples callable?

def do(iterable, func):
    for item in iterable:
        func(item)

do(orchestra(score), pickle)
do(orchestra(conductor), sequence)
