I personally think this auto-expanding argument is overrated.
I don't have any particular expectation regarding
auto-expansion towards the concept "tuple". Sure, it may be
surprising, but that doesn't stop an auto expanding tuple from
being a tuple, just like Perl arrays being auto-expanding
doesn't stop them from being arrays.
You know there a thing scientific do that is called experiment.
In this case the experiment of calling this a tuple has been
made, and it confused the hell out of everybody for years.
You can argue against reality all you want. The fact is, people
expect tuples to not autoexpand.
the reason tuple was confusing is because it's already used by
another completely distinct type.
