It doesn't change Tuple.sizeof.
Sure, but it still takes up space in the executable. Negligible
of course, but for something that doesn't bring anything to the
table, not so.
It's a little bit of runtime reflection, which people sometimes
find handy. There's nothing stopping you from writing it
manually or with metaprogramming, granted. And if it's just
tuples, it doesn't seem like much of an advantage.
Exactly. When you want runtime reflection, would you put it in a
tuple?
