For what it's worth, Ben has removed this comment in !4146 [1], where he
increases the maximum tuple size to 64. This is enough to unblock me on
progressing with !4097, so I'm happy. There seems to be a more general
question of whether it makes sense to enforce a size limit at all for
unboxed tuples, but I'll leave that question to people more knowledgeable
than I am.
