How can I convert an array to a tuple?

Question

I just want to convert an array into a tuple in Swift; something like the following:

>>> myArray = [1,2,3,4,5]
>>> mytuple = tuple(myArray)

if what you want to do is extract multiple value from array at the same time, maybe the following code could help you

extension Array {
    func splat() -> (Element,Element) {
        return (self[0],self[1])
    }

    func splat() -> (Element,Element,Element) {
        return (self[0],self[1],self[2])
    }

    func splat() -> (Element,Element,Element,Element) {
        return (self[0],self[1],self[2],self[3])
    }

    func splat() -> (Element,Element,Element,Element,Element) {
        return (self[0],self[1],self[2],self[3],self[4])
    }
}

then you can use it like this

  let (first,_,third) = ( 0..<20 ).map { $0 }.splat()

you can even write a codegen to generate the extension code
