It's not.  You can build your own tuple type out of cons<...> cells
if you need a bigger tuple than accomodated by the convenient
interface:

Actually, IIUC a non- cons-based implementation will replace the
current one for efficiency reasons; that one _will_ have a hard upper
limit on size which can only be changed by using a preprocessor macro
on the command-line.
