Hello together!
Based on the results of the "for-in-index" thread I've decided to come
up with a draft for the Tuple type which is thought by many people to
be a better alternative to "for-in-index".
Please note the following points:
* This is not the final specification for Tuples and thus open to
discussion (there are still some issues with this draft that need to
be solved)
* I won't implement this feature myself (at least not in the near
future) as I have other topics on my list (most importantly generics
once type helpers are commited), so Alexander is free to give the task
for implementation to his student.
After a first read, looks OK. You seem to have thought of everything
that needs to be described, except maybe extraction of a single element:
b : tuple of (integer, integer);
a : integer;
begin
b:=(1,2);
a:=b[0]; // a = 1 after this.
end;
Iff a tuple contains elements of the same type and if tuples with this
restriction are compatible with arrays, wouldn't this behaviour be implicit?
