My tuple functions were written in 2002 in my port from Smalltalk to 
C++.  Did std::vector have an initializer back then ?  My Smalltalk 
conpiler had a heterogeneous collection library using the tuple method 
so I wanted a straight conversion between the two.  Luckily, most of my 
Smalltalk tuples were actually homogeneous collections.
