Okay, it is done, I ported the array code to tuples.

(I had to keep array at some point, though: my SORT works by inserting
elements one by one in an buffer, which is therefore an empty
container at the start of the loop. Since I can't start the loop with
an empty tuple, BOOST_PP_TUPLE_SORT has to use an array buffer and
convert it back to a tuple afterwards. I thought about using a
non-empty tuple containing 0 as the buffer and dropping the first
element afterwards, but this wouldn't work with SORT_U...)

Newbie questions time, sorry: I can't seem to find information on how
to submit my patch? Also, I'm not sure I understand how BOOST_PP is
tested: I'm currently using a small script that tries the macros with
both g++ and clang++, but I'm not sure how to integrate it to the
existing test suites.

Thanks again for your time!
