Tuples: {number, string}

Arrays: {number}

How does it disambiguate it? Are single-element tuples just never used in practice? To be fair, maybe the only time I've had to use them in TypeScript is via Parameters<T>

Now I am curious what {number, string, number} would be considered as.

it's a three element tuple.

That was my guess, just as {n, n, n, n} would be a four element tuple, right?
