Summary: Allow Empty Subscript List Without Parentheses

Initial Comment:
This is a reference implementation of PEP XXX, which
makes writing "x[]" equivalent to writing "x[()]".

It passes the Python test suite, but currently doesn't
provide additional tests or documentation.

The attached diff doesn't include changes to
auto-generated files.

Attached is an improved patch, which does exactly the same
thing but with less code. It shows that, at least from the
implementation's point of view, an empty tuple for an empty
subscript list works like an n-tuple for an n-sized
subscript list.
