It also seems ass-backwards to me that the syntax will be dropped, but
the hack that we used for the proof-of-concept implementation will be
immortalized as "tuple modules". Drop the parameterized modules if you
like, but don't make the apply-hack a documented feature; the old {M,F}
was bad enough.
