However I can't think of the last time I wanted to do this - array
elements having individual purposes are usually a sign that you should
be using a different data structure.
In the case I was working with, was a stand-in for the value returned
by some_match.groups(). The match comes from a standard regexp
defined elsewhere and that captures more groups than I need. (This
regexp is applied to every line of a log file.)

The common idiom for this sort of thing is:
_, _, _, val1, _, _, _, val2, ..., val3 = some_match.groups()
