Hi Julien,
this is a welcomed addition that will save time and pain to many
beginners and (somewhat) more advanced testers alike.
I would perhaps add some lines of code giving an example of how tuples
and array2d's are passed from Mercury to C and back.
Related to this, I would give an example of how data tables of any sort
can be passed to C as arrays of user-defined types (see this thread:
http://lists.mercurylang.org/archives/users/2021-May/009119.html). It is
not an obvious issue, though one of those that users may want to handle
without too much pondering.
