A fair point. If you care either way, send me a note. (Not to the
list.)
Henrik leaves open the question of which tuple *instances* you can rely
on.
Up to 7, like zip and friends? Or up to 15? By analogy with the zip
functions,
I think I'd go for 7. Again, let me know, but don't trouble the list
unless you
want to raise a new point.
