Actually, I thought a tuple could consist of any number of elements; it's
essentially a vector. I regret not having a programming dictionary and a
math dictionary at hand, but my generic English dictionary defines words
like "quintuple," "sextuple," "septuple," etc. A 3-tuple would be a triple.
Just drop the prefix and it's clear you're talking about a sequence (whoa!)
without specifying the number of elements.
If this message (sent as a reply) doesn't appear on the list, I will send it
as a nwe message.
