Ah, okay... then sure, you can do this:

class Tuple a b c | a b -> c where
    tuple :: a -> b -> c

instance Tuple (a -> b, a -> c) a (b,c) where
    tuple (f,g) x = (f x, g x)

and so on...  You'll need fundeps (or type families if you prefer to
write it that way), and probably at least flexible and/or overlapping
instances, too, but of course GHC will tell you about those.
