It could be, but that would be a much more complicated interface.  As it
is, the user need only specify an expression kind non-type template
parameter and a Hana tuple to create a model of Expression.  Adding another
point of customization by allowing her to specify anything for the tuple
that models some Tuple concept is a lot to add, considering how simple the
status quo is.  I think it should be hana::tuple or std::tuple rather than
any Tuple.
