For the backwards compatibility section, it would be good to analyze how the
change impacts error reporting.
(1) is the suggested syntax currently a 'common error' that will become harder
to detect once it's not a syntax error?
(2) would adding this syntax impact the parser's ability to provide friendly
error messages? (Pablo did a lot of work on error messages for 3.10, so check
a current python version).
I'm not saying I'm seeing an issue - just that these points need to be thought
through and perhaps mentioned in the PEP.

As promised, I put together a pre-PEP (together with my friend and coteacher
Adam Hartz, not currently subscribed, but I'll keep him aprised):
https://github.com/edemaine/peps/blob/unpacking-comprehensions/pep-9999.rst
For this to become an actual PEP, it needs a sponsor. If a core developer
would be willing to be the sponsor for this, please let me know. (This is my
first PEP, so if I'm going about this the wrong way, also let me know.)
Meanwhile, I'd welcome any comments! In writing things up, I became convinced
that generators should be supported, but arguments should not be supported;
see the document for details why.
Erik
