Hi,
A quick and dirty tuple implementation using the new multi-uservalue
userdata implementation.
The problem I see, is that you don't get raw equality with any userdata
implementation of tuples. So I cannot use them as table keys.
For example I cannot use tuples to index a matrix.
t = {}
t[tuple(2,2)] = 42
print(tuple(2,2)) -- prints nil
You can memoize using an ephemeron table.
Not saying that this doesn't work, but what would I use as the key
of the ephemeron table? I still need to somehow "hash" or
concatenation the tuple into some raw type. And then why I am asking
myself, why don't just use tables all the way. Maybe there is a
performance benefit?
