It's not the machine overhead, it's the intellectual overhead.  I know there
are some who will disagree with me, but I would find it easier to read

        def foo(origin as (x1, y1), corner as (x2, y2)):

than to read

        def foo(origin, corner):
                (x1, y1) = origin
                (x2, y2) = corner

It's not a big deal, but it is not completely negligible either.
