The KLF need to realize that TUPLE:'s aren't very common per file. So
the saving of 4 keystrokes here and there per slot for something that
appears only a few times seems not that great. But if you use a
different syntax overloading, or a syntax completely different from
anything else, then the fact that TUPLE: usage does not pop up a lot
(compared to word definitions for example) means the overhead of
remembering what that special syntax is seems to be more of a burden.
