R. David Murray added the comment:
A google for quadruple got me wikipedia as the first hit, with this as the
match text:
"Quadruple may refer to: A 4-tuple, ..."
So, it's tech-speak. The alternative would be to say either "a 4-tuple" or "a
tuple of four elements". I'm fine with someone making that change, but I don't
think it is terrible that the word is used the way it is.
