Tell me what happens with that technique when your json has > 22 keys. ;)
(Edit) this is apparently working in the latest scala 2.11 But it killed my adoption of scala for real work early on. https://issues.scala-lang.org/browse/SI-7099
It works without issues.
I never have seen a use-case where this would have been an issue. Sure, it "looks" unfortunate, but there is only so much you can do when running on a completely uncooperative runtime.
If devs need a typed representation of unlimited length, they provide a HList and move on.
Such a representation will replace the length-limited tuples in a future version of Scala.
