Don't yell.
You just effectively re-implemented Christopher Barker's solution (which was
also present in the StackOverflow thread), with the downside that it fails the
immutability criterion.
Saying "just be careful not to mutate the original datastructure" isn't a
solution. There's a reason we have immutable types: To enforce​ immutability.
Otherwise, why aren't you proposing getting rid of the tuple type entirely?
