Just FYI, at Credit Suisse I wrote a 1-tuple type a few years ago. It was the only way to get a consistent way of dealing with certain things. But I called it One. I think the OneTuple should be in the base library, I mean, ask an 8 year old what number is missing in this sequence 0,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,...
