Variadic tuple unpacking requires a star target -- why?

Bug Report

When attempting to unpack a tuple that uses Unpack, if you don't use a star target to capture the variadic tuple as a list, you get the error Variadic tuple unpacking requires a star target.

This is overly strict and prescriptivist and is not even applied consistently between similar type concepts within mypy.

1. You definitely can do this if the lengths check out.
2. pyright doesn't raise an error like this. You are simply on your own for length checking the unpacking of indeterminate length tuples, just like you are for list, another indeterminate length unpackable sequence.
3. In fact, this is also how mypy treats unpacking list. It doesn't raise an error if you don't use a star target.
4. I have a real use case where I want to do exactly this. I lay out my use case in this bug report to pyright: https://github.com/microsoft/pyright/issues/7987

To Reproduce

from typing import Tuple

from typing_extensions import Unpack


def foo() -> Tuple[int, Unpack[Tuple[str, ...]]]:
    return 1, "bar", "baz"

a, b, c = foo()  # error: Variadic tuple unpacking requires a star target  [misc]

d, e, f = [1, "bar", "baz"]  # OK

Playground URL: https://mypy-play.net/?mypy=master&python=3.12&gist=4014976ca069e54b5c1fe86a45353f58

Expected Behavior

No errors in the above example. a's type should be revealed to be int, and b and c's types should be revealed to be str.

Actual Behavior

An error, and a, b, and c are all revealed to be Any.

Inizia con la riproduzione minima nel report o con il relativo URL di mypy-play e confronta la diagnostica e i tipi rivelati per l’unpacking di tuple e liste. È completato quando l’assegnazione della tupla non produce errori, rivela a come int e b e c come str, e non introduce regressioni nel caso della lista.
