Subject: [ruby-talk:12039] why won't "(a) = 1" parse?

Hello --

I was surprised to see this fail to parse:

  (a) = 1

This is ok:

  (a,) = 1

as is

  (a,b) = 1

and so forth.

I'm not sure why the first example doesn't have the same effect as
just "a = 1".

(ruby 1.6.2 (2001-01-18) [i586-linux])
