One extra source of confusion is that "expression tuple" was

They are one and the same.
Almost, but not completely. They share implementation and much of
observable behavior (and former can be used to initialize latter)
but one is mutable run-time entity and other - compile-time (and
thus, of course, constant). As they don't have proper
representation in the type system, it makes them quite different.
