Sorry, I don't understand. In this example, the rhs values are contained in
an Array, which you consider low elegance, in your first example the rhs
values are discrete. I don't see how they are the same, I think this is an
instance of your "x, y, z = [1, 2, 3]", which you consider to be low
elegance.
