I don’t know what an ETuple is, is is a kind of literal? I create tuples (a
kind of array) with the message #,. For example, (1,2,3) sends ‘, 2’ to 1
and returns a tuple with 1 and 2, and then this tuple receives ‘, 3’ and
returns a tuple with 1, 2 and 3. It’s not the most efficient way of
creating tuples (it creates some temporary garbage), and they are not
literals, but it makes very readable code.
