Maybe we are saying the same thing?  The elements from which the tuple
members are drawn need only be a sequence defined by a successor
function.  The values themselves need have no ordering nor, indeed, have
any of the arithmetic properties of N.

Of course you can always generate n-tuples of N and then map these to
n-tuples of the intended sequence but that seems inelegant.
