{-| Some helpers for working with 2-tuples.

**Note:** For larger chunks of data, it is best to switch to using records. So
instead of representing a 3D point as `(3,4,5)` and wondering why there are no
helper functions, represent it as `{ x = 3, y = 4, z = 5 }` and use all the
built-in syntax for records.
