It may depend on what you really meant . If you're talking about creating recursive tuples via mutation in C, where tuples are the only container type involved, then 2.2.2 and 2.1.3 are broken now (they may blow the stack while comparing such beasts).

That's what I thought Barry meant, and if so I really don't think we care. It's not like we can prevent all misbehaving third party C code from segfaulting...

Cheers, M.
