remove "(" ")" when tuple used in return or in LHS of assignment?

Is this still wanted? Happy to work on that @rocky.

(I agree that

a, b = foo()

looks cleanear and more pythonic than

(a, b) = foo()

so this looks like a good change. I've also reproduced this issue with the current master. The only thing I worry about is that this may require significant grammar changes (to detect this specific example of (tuple) = somethint), but I'll try.

@msm-code actually, I believe this is just a matter of going over operator precedences and possibly the semantic rules that mention these so that LHS doesn't need a parenthesis around it in the context of an assignment statement. And if a rule is explicitly adding "(" .. ")" in a rule or action, then remove that and allow precedence to do its thing instead.

I have seem something like this come up in the latest not-public version where I have been revising things more from the ground up.

So if you get started there, I can try to fold in precedence changes from this version, and I think there were some code changes or grammar changes to ensure that "expr" gets used.

"expr" is the single location where precedence is used to add optional parenthesis.
