Could we use any kind of symbolic sequence in LHS of assignment ?
For example, would the following assignment be possible?
{{a,b},c} = {{d,e},f}
Yes, we could. My first implementation doesn't have this (it's very simple), but there's no technical reason why we couldn't. I wasn't sure if we wanted to go down this route, although I could see the usefulness.

Isn't this simplier and faster ...
a = d b = e c = f
Probably, in this specific case. However, the LHS generic symbolic sequence shows its usefulness when the RHS is a function that returns a generic sequence.
