> Missing parentheses in call to 'print'. Did you mean print(1, 2, 3)?

Yes, Python, I meant exactly that! I've never seen this error message in error. Now you know what I mean, please fix it automatically, I know you can do that. Heck, throw a single warning if you really want to enforce this. I can ignore warnings that I don't care about.

Yeah, generally please second-guess me Python, like my old pal Clippy did, what could possibly go wrong?

From https://xkcd.com/353/

I'm not sure whether to take this as an in-joke (knowing the reference is part of the fun) or poor attribution (credits should be given where they're due).
