Idiom #220 Create a tuple value

Create t consisting of 3 values having different types.

Explain if the elements of t are strongly typed or not.

Dim t = (2.5F, "foo", True)

Strongly typed by inference as System.ValueTuple(Of Single, String, Boolean).
type
  Tuple = record
    a: integer;
    b: string;
    c: boolean;
  end;
var
  t: Tuple;
begin
  t := Default(Tuple);
end.

Elements of type Tuple are strongly typed.
The Default intrinsic will create a variable of type Tuple with all it's members set to their respective default values.
let t = 1, 'a', "b"

in OCaml, parenthesis for tuples are optional and only used to disambiguate.
Type inference can determine the type of the tuple without annotation.
