[m-dev.] for review: tuples [1]

[Michael Day]

> Any plans to deprecate the pair/2 type?

Could perhaps someone skilled in the use of tuples in functional languages
(Ralph?) say a few words regarding when it is more appropriate to use
tuples and when to use pair or other similar types? Is it of particular
use for writing higher order code? I'm a little lost regarding when to use
lists, when to use terms and when to use tuples.

And... can a zero-arity tuple replace the unit type? For completeness? :)

Michael
