It is arguable that the result of this should be equivalent to

print(true, nil)

For the same argument, then, let us take the following:

if a,b = true,nil then
   print(true)
else
   print(false)
end

or similarly:

print(not not(a,b = true,nil))

Where:

if true, nil then print(true) end

Results in the error: 'then' expected near ','

Which is the most logical reduction, imho.
