Singleton tuples might seem pointless, and some languages do not support such single-element tuples, but as we want to support slicing, they should probably exist. (Also, we might want to create a tuple from an AliasSeq, which can be achieved by dropping it into a single-element tuple and letting it auto-expand.)
Singleton tuples would be necessary for any kind of recursion on tuples.
The way mir.functional.RefTuple works is similar to your AliasSeq tuple. This is because it uses anonymous names for the fields. std.typecons.Tuple assumes field name/Type pairs.
