Our ttk doc, https://docs.python.org/3/library/tkinter.ttk.html#item-options, here copies the tk doc: "The list of values associated with the item." It should say 'tuple or list', but that is a generic (and separate) issue of our ttk doc not translating '(tcl) list' to '(python) sequence' or '(python) tuple or list'. The NMT doc, http://infohost.nmt.edu/tcc/help/pubs/tkinter/web/ttk-Treeview.html, is unnecessarily vague ('data items') about what needs to be passed for values. It correctly notes that a single string is accepted for tags, but I don't know that this is guaranteed.
