## Summary
This PR reduces the virality of some of the `Todo` types in
`infer_tuple_type_expression`. Rather than inferring `Todo`, we instead
infer `tuple[Todo, ...]`. This reflects the fact that whatever the
contents of the slice in a `tuple[]` type expression, we would always
infer some kind of tuple type as the result of the type expression. Any
tuple type should be assignable to `tuple[Todo, ...]`, so this shouldn't
introduce any new false positives; this can be seen in the ecosystem
report.
As a result of the change, we are now able to enforce in the signature
of `Type::infer_tuple_type_expression` that it returns an
`Option<TupleType<'db>>`, which is more strongly typed and expresses
clearly the invariant that a tuple type expression should always be
inferred as a `tuple` type. To enable this, it was necessary to refactor
several `TupleType` constructors in `tuple.rs` so that they return
`Option<TupleType>` rather than `Type`; this means that callers of these
constructor functions are now free to either propagate the
`Option<TupleType<'db>>` or convert it to a `Type<'db>`.
## Test Plan
Mdtests updated.
We already had support for homogeneous tuples (`tuple[int, ...]`). This
PR extends this to also support mixed tuples (`tuple[str, str,
*tuple[int, ...], str str]`).
A mixed tuple consists of a fixed-length (possibly empty) prefix and
suffix, and a variable-length portion in the middle. Every element of
the variable-length portion must be of the same type. A homogeneous
tuple is then just a mixed tuple with an empty prefix and suffix.
The new data representation uses different Rust types for a fixed-length
(aka heterogeneous) tuple. Another option would have been to use the
`VariableLengthTuple` representation for all tuples, and to wrap the
"variable + suffix" portion in an `Option`. I don't think that would
simplify the method implementations much, though, since we would still
have a 2×2 case analysis for most of them.
One wrinkle is that the definition of the `tuple` class in the typeshed
has a single typevar, and canonically represents a homogeneous tuple.
When getting the class of a tuple instance, that means that we have to
summarize our detailed mixed tuple type information into its
"homogeneous supertype". (We were already doing this for heterogeneous
types.)
A similar thing happens when concatenating two mixed tuples: the
variable-length portion and suffix of the LHS, and the prefix and
variable-length portion of the RHS, all get unioned into the
variable-length portion of the result. The LHS prefix and RHS suffix
carry through unchanged.
