In most languages an array with 3 elements has the same type as an array with 2 elements so the type system isn't going to warn you about the difference between

("foo" "bar", "baz")

and

("foo", "bar", "baz")

They still tend to differentiate between 2- and 3 element tuples (but I agree that the implicit concatenation is problematic).

Fair enough. I was only thinking about the str vs tuple case. So when you have 2 elements in the parenthesis.
