-/// In this documentation the shorthand `(T, ...)` is used to represent all

-/// on `T` applies to each field of the tuple independently. Note that this is
-/// a convenience notation to avoid repetitive documentation, not valid
-/// Rust syntax.
+/// In this documentation the shorthand `(T, ...)` is used to represent tuples of varying length.
+/// When that is used, any trait bounds expressed on `T` applies to each field of the tuple
+/// independently. Note that this is a convenience notation to avoid repetitive documentation,
+/// not valid Rust syntax.
+///
+/// Due to a temporary restriction in Rust’s type system, the following traits are only
+/// implemented on tuples of arity 12 or less. In the future, this may change:
+///
+/// * [`PartialEq`]
+/// * [`Eq`]
+/// * [`PartialOrd`]
+/// * [`Ord`]
+/// * [`Debug`]
+/// * [`Default`]
+/// * [`Hash`]
+///
+/// [`Debug`]: fmt::Debug
+/// [`Hash`]: hash::Hash
+///
+/// The following traits are implemented for tuples of any length. These traits have
+/// implementations that are automatically generated by the compiler, so are not limited by
+/// missing language features.
+///
+/// * [`Clone`]
+/// * [`Copy`]
+/// * [`Send`]
+/// * [`Sync`]
+/// * [`Unpin`]
+/// * [`UnwindSafe`]
+/// * [`RefUnwindSafe`]
+///
+/// [`Unpin`]: marker::Unpin
