Will a future version of .NET support tuples in C#?

Question

.Net 3.5 doesn\'t support tuples. Too bad, But not sure whether the future version of .net will support tuples or not?

Answer 1

Here's my set of tuples, they're autogenerated by a Python script, so I've perhaps gone a bit overboard:

They are based on inheritance, but Tuple will not compare equal to Tuple even if they happen to have the same values for the two first members.

They also implement GetHashCode and ToString and so forth, and lots of smallish helper methods.

Example of usage:

Tuple t1 = new Tuple(10, "a");
Tuple t2 = new Tuple(10, "a", true);
if (t1.Equals(t2))
    Console.Out.WriteLine(t1 + " == " + t2);
else
    Console.Out.WriteLine(t1 + " != " + t2);

Will output:

10, a != 10, a, True
