It goes against the idea of tuple. No language that I know
(Haskell, Rust, F#, Python, and more) that has tuples supports
the initialization of a n-tuple with a scalar value. It's
sloppy. And sloppy designs usually find a way to bite your rump
later.
Yes, but at this point, I (we?) don't even know if it's intended
behavior to begin with.
If it was an accident it worked to begin with, then it's fate
should be sealed pretty fast.
The fact that CTFE doesn't seem to work with it seems (to me) an
indication of that.
