See existing Issue 9232. I agree with your use case, but apparently this is controversial. Playing the devil’s advocate here, the function calls involving unpacking and a trailing comma only became valid in 3.5. I think this was a side effect of the new f(args, *more) syntax, though I don’t know if it was intentional. It was not mentioned in PEP 448 that I can see.
