x = [1,2,3] Case (1) b, = x b == [1, 2, 3] Case(2) b, _ = x b = [1,2] Is it not more logical for this to give consistent values regardless. i.e., b, = [1,2,3] ; b == [1,2] *b, _ = [1,3,2] ; b == [1,2] ; _ == [3]

x = [1,2,3]

Case (1)
*b, = x 
*b == [1, 2, 3]

Case(2)
*b, _ = x 
b = [1,2]



Is it not more logical for this to give consistent values regardless. 

i.e.,

*b, = [1,2,3] ; b == [1,2]

*b, _ = [1,3,2] ;  b == [1,2] ;  _ == [3]
