Maybe we can add such methods to the PyPy tuples for some time, to
experimentally see if they make the language worse :-)

(Adding such methods may reduce the amound of information you have to
keep in your brain to program with Python. If tuples and lists share
more methods then you don't have to remember what methods tuples don't
have. This means less complexity.)
