This would avoid accidentally leaving out commas in list construction, but tuple construction would still have the same problem.
Tuple construction already has a "no comma, no tuple" problem. That problem remains, but as soon as you add a comma, you'll get the same protection as you get for lists.
And it's still a change in the language which would probably affect lots of existing code.
Having read and written tons of existing code, I'm not so sure about that. A tool that wraps backslash-escaped blocks in parentheses would take care of most cases. What's left after that is probably ambiguous to a human reader anyway.
