[erlang-questions] specs for fixed length lists

[Lukas Larsson]

Writing a generic tuple:map/2 would not be that hard either:

map(F, Tuple) ->
   map(F, Tuple, size(Tuple)).

map(F,Tuple,1) ->
   setelement(1,Tuple,F(element(1,Tuple)));
map(F,Tuple,N) ->
   map(F,setelement(N,Tuple,F(element(N,Tuple))),N-1).

It's not very pretty, or efficient, but it gets the job done.
