    Are you suggesting something like this?
    
                if len(args) == 1:
                    args = args[0]
                    if isinstance(args, dict):
                        args = args.items()
                    args = list(zip(*args))
    
                    # Handle empty args case.
                    if len(args) == 0:
                        indices = []
                        values = []
         
                indices, values = args
    
    That would not work because it will raise an error if `lens(args)` is zero. 
and if I keep the else statement, the unpacking is done only when a list of 
lists / tuples is provided.
