As they are orthogonal, I think they should be considered separately, but in particular committed separately. FWIW, I'm in favor of both (but haven't reviewed the non-cyclic tuples one yet). So despite the organizational overhead, I'd appreciate if you could create separate patches, if not separate issues.
