//! Operations on tuples
//!
//! To access a single element of a tuple one can use the following
//! methods:
//!
//! * `valN` - returns a value of _N_-th element
//! * `refN` - returns a reference to _N_-th element
//! * `mutN` - returns a mutable reference to _N_-th element
//!
//! Indexing starts from zero, so `val0` returns first value, `val1`
//! returns second value, and so on. In general, a tuple with _S_
//! elements provides aforementioned methods suffixed with numbers
//! from `0` to `S-1`. Traits which contain these methods are
//! implemented for tuples with up to 12 elements.
//!
//! If every type inside a tuple implements one of the following
//! traits, then a tuple itself also implements it.
//!
//! * `Clone`
//! * `PartialEq`
//! * `Eq`
//! * `PartialOrd`
//! * `Ord`
//! * `Default`
//!
//! # Examples
//!
//! Using traits implemented for tuples:
//!
//! ```
//! use std::default::Default;
//!
//! let a = (1i, 2i);
//! let b = (3i, 4i);
//! assert!(a != b);
//!
//! let c = b.clone();
//! assert!(b == c);
//!
//! let d : (u32, f32) = Default::default();
//! assert_eq!(d, (0u32, 0.0f32));
//! ```
