Will not discuss about taste. Someone likes commas, someone not. Not important.

Can't agree. For me the main point is *they are semantically different in 
use*, this is why I like trailing commas in array/dict and don't like in 
signatures. For me array/dict - is "data", parameter list - is "code".

Personally I support the idea of dropping comma in array/dict to allow line 
break separate elements(like operations in Swift code):
let a = [
	10
	20
	30
	40
	]
	
let d = [
	10 : "a"
	20 : "b"
	30 : "c"
	40 : "d"
	]
	
but I don't know if I'd support the same for parameter list/tuples, 
probably will not support.
