I don't see why this last case should hold. Why does the function
take more than one argument? And if it does, then
why doesn't it work like this?
--> identity('spam')
('spam',)
(because then it wouldn't be an identity function!) Trying to handle
the multi-argument case seems like it adds an
unneeded special case to the function.
--> a = 'spam'
--> a == neds_identity(a)
False
Right, but why does one argument return the argument, but n>1 returns a
tuple of the args?
