That article should probably be rewritten so that it takes TypeTuple into account. But it does contain some good info if you can properly understand the difference between TypeTuple and a type tuple.

Argh, can somebody *pretty please* submit a pull to fix the docs? It's things like this that turns newbies away ("What's this? The docs contradict each other! I don't understand this language! Hmm let's look at the next language on the list").

I would do it myself, except that after reading Kenji's notes on #10803 I'm no longer so sure I understand it myself. :-/
