The should be not big obstacle to allow using real tuples 
(values/patterns) with multi-argument constructors, thus perhaps 
reducing the confusion.  In expression at least, this should be quite 
straightfoward because it can be understood as a local syntactic 
rewriting ("C e" -> "let (x1, ..., xn) = e in C (x1, ..., xn)" when C is 
a constructor with arity > 1 and "e" is not a syntactic tuple).
