Currently, the Guide says tuples "are only equivalent if the arity, types, and values are all identical", before presenting an example that uses
==
to compare two tuples whose arity and contained types match. This is misleading, because it implies that==
can dynamically check whether two tuples have the same arity and contained types, whereas trying to do this would lead to a compiler error.I tried to avoid destroying the flow of this section, but I'm not sure if I've been successful.
