  <p>Trying to mimic a Tuple as implemented in .Net 4 (For .Net 3) I just realized there is a Tuple(Of T)? This was quite a surprize!</p>
  
  <p>Why would anyone do this</p>
  
  <pre><code>Tuple&lt;string&gt; result = new Tuple&lt;string&gt;("Data");
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Instead of this</p>
  
  <pre><code>return "Data";
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Isn't the whole point of a tuple that its a container for "loosely related data that isnt cohesive enough to make another class"? Am I missing something?</p>
