Sorry Ellery but you, as others, are also focusing on syntax and not
a semantic foundation for what tuples are.  I note that bearophile
makes similar points about the meaning of tuples in a latter post.

Without understanding what the meaning of tuples is and what they
might be good for, it (imho) doesn't make sense to enter into
syntactic arguments.
