I've also thought about this issue and I agree with Garrett, allowing that
trailing comma (or semicolon) would help readability*. If it doesn't work
with tuples, perhaps we could at least do it with lists and records?

* It also hurts source control diffs a bit, as adding extra commas will
give diffs that suggest that one additional line was changed.
