Joe Jevnik added the comment:

CALL_FUNCTION doesn't use extended arg; I don't see what we get by adding some 
opcode to convert the sequence into a tuple. We also don't want to box up the 
stack arguments into a tuple because when we do a CALL_FUNCTION to a python 
function we just copy the stack[-n:] elements into the locals of the next 
frame. Emitting a build_tuple here would be an unneeded allocation.
