Andrei missed the point of that part of the discussion. That was 
not an explanation of the usefulness of wildcards, it was a small 
explanations of why probably you can't use '_' as wildcard 
symbol. The examples I have shown were not meant to show why 
wildcards are very useful in a rounded tuple design.

That is perhaps technically acceptable, but it's longer.
