> IIRC, the "1" is the number of commas, so Z1T is the *pair* constructor.

() Z0T 0-tuple
(,,,,) Z5T 5-tuple
(# #) Z1H unboxed 1-tuple (note the space)
(#,,,,#) Z5H unboxed 5-tuple
(NB: There is no Z1T nor Z0H.)
Which, interestingly, says that there is no Z1T, despite sengan having
supposedly found one.
However it also suggests that, if Z1T did exist, then it would be a 1-tuple.
The code itself backs this up and suggests that the number is the number of
commas + 1:
maybe_tuple "()" = Just("Z0T")
maybe_tuple ('(' : cs) = case count_commas (0::Int) cs of
(n, ')' : cs) -> Just ('Z' : shows (n+1) "T")
other -> Nothing
maybe_tuple other = Nothing
Just in case anyone wasn't confused yet :-)
