I never understood the motivation for allowing tuples without surrounding parens. There are a few very simple functions that look cuter this way, but it constantly trips me up in more complex situations.

No parentheses can be nice for cleaner pattern matching, e.g. something like this:

  match a, b with
  | 1, 2 -> x
  | _ -> y
