Surprisingly, it works!  I tested it also.  It never occurred to me to
simply try the list of tuples in place of the normal arguments as
explained in the docs.   I just assumed that the docs were the full
story.

Yours is the best suggestion.

The suggestion about a flatten() function is also a good one, but it
turns out not to be needed.
