as a facility for users, yes; but not as a 'lighter than tables' data type.
as much as i'd like to see real tuples in Lua (as the type of ... ), i
feel that the usage presented by Xavier should be better served by a C
library. or, if performance is critical, as a patch to the core; not
as part of Lua. (at least until a general redesign of language
primitives)
