Tuples *are* unbiased, the bias is just an artifact of seeing them as a curried function, where the positions are "eaten" from left to right. Again, this mathematically correct, but more often than not the main intent of using a tuple-
Exactly. Currying is nice and convenient but it has an inherent bias. This bias is based on the necessity to choose an order when writing things down in sequence and unavoidable as long as we write programs as linear text. Just because we can curry something doesn't mean we have to give an independent (biased) interpretation to the curried entity.
We can't just ignore that and pretend they're unbiased.
We *can* ignore that, just use Henning's Decorated for an isomorphic variant.
And let's not forget Either which IMO should be regarded as an unbiased choice. I don't have a proposal for the name, though. Cheers Ben
