Provides “tuples” for Clojure, with faster element access, otherwise behaving like Clojure’s vectors.

• add to your project.clj:

[tuples 0.0.3]

;=> (use 'tuples.core)
nil
;=> (tuple 1 2)
[1 2]
;=> (tuple 1 2 3)
[1 2 3]
;=> (tuple 1 2 3 4)
[1 2 3 4]
;=> (tuple 1 2 3 "foo")
[1 2 3 "foo"]
;=> (get0 (tuple 1 2 3 "foo"))
1
;=> (get3 (tuple 1 2 3 "foo"))
"foo"
