This cannot be done completely type-safely... but assuming that the array indeed contains elements of the correct types as they should appear in a Tuple of type Where
, the following function will do the trick:
Tuple<Anything, Anything, Anything> typedTuple({Anything+} array) {
if (exists second = array.rest.first) {
return Tuple(array.first, typedTuple({ second }.chain(array.rest.rest)));
}
else {
return Tuple(array.first, []);
}
}
And apply gets implemented as:
Result apply<Result, Where>(
[Anything+] array,
Callable<Result, Where> fun)
given Where satisfies Anything[] {
value tuple = typedTuple(array);
assert(is Where tuple);
return fun(*tuple);
}
