Which definition of tuple are you using that doesn't apply to
e.g. `AliasSeq!(42, "foo")`?
For me important property is that tuple itself must be distinct
entity that can be passed around and is generally full part of
the type system. Also destructuring is one of established tuple
features in other languages. Limiting it to values is irrelevant
(but somewhat necessary to define ABI because of mentioned
property).
Obviosuly, I am referring to established programming "tuple"
concept, not math term it originates from.
