I *definitely* agree!!!!

In all the case I've run against 'flattening by default' is a mistake 
(be it with parameter passing or with structure/record construction):
this *loose information* by default which is a big no no in my view.


Of course sometimes the developer wants to have the tuples flattened, so 
there should be a way to do it, but this shouldn't be the default.
