In Python (which has influenced much of my thinking in the last few years, including how I write C++ code), the only distinction is lists have dynamic contents, tuples are static.
What benefit is there to generally assuming homongenous content in one versus the other? I realise this is extremely useful in specific circumstances, at least assuming all items of a list support a given callable signature or can handle a given message (for Todd & other Smalltalkers).
