... And on the 2nd thought, that won't work. The reason it works in
JS is that it doesn't have tuples. In Python, "(a, b) => (1, 2)"

Should be safe actually - "=>" is not a valid comparison operator.
It may not be a valid operator - but it reads as if it could be. using
'=>' for this will decrease the readability as far as I can see.
It takes a bit of mental processing to realise this isn't a valid
comparison, and then more processing to understand what it does mean; it
will definitely be a source of confusion for beginners. The fact that a
very respected member of the community got it wrong at first sight
suggests that many will do so.
If we were going to do this - and I am still on the fence - I think we
should avoid anything that reads like it could be confused as an operator.
