Just FYI, at Credit Suisse I wrote a 1-tuple type a few years ago. It
was the only way to get a consistent way of dealing with certain
things.
But I called it One.
I think the OneTuple should be in the base library, I mean, ask an 8
year old what number is missing in this sequence 0,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,...

Fellow Haskellers,
Much attention has been paid over the years to the regrettable omission of singleton tuples from Haskell.
I am pleased to announce OneTuple, a humble implementation of the singleton tuple for Haskell. Now you can:
* Wrap a single value of any type in a OneTuple !
* Pattern match to retrieve your value !
* Solve any of the software problems that cannot be solved without the singleton tuple !
* Enjoy instances for all the classes normal tuples have, plus more !
* Proclaim feature parity with Python !
Note: the singleton tuple does not support tuple syntax.
Contributions are welcome. The project could use a tutorial, and a decent test suite. Strict singleton tuples are planned for the next version.
Enjoy!
Regards, John Dorsey
