Turns out the BUILD_TUPLE_UNPACK and BUILD_LIST_UNPACK opcodes are undocumented in the dis module.

There are also BUILD_SET_UNPACK and BUILD_MAP_UNPACK as well.

And BUILD_MAP_UNPACK_WITH_CALL.

All these opcodes were added in issue2292 for implementing PEP 448, but are not documented even in the PEP.

At the same time the semantic of the BUILD_MAP opcode was changed. However the documentation was not updated and currently it doesn't match the implementation. This caused an issue in third-party projects that operate with bytecode.

See also issue28810 for documenting bytecode changes in 3.6.
