[Haskell-cafe] Generic "to tuple" function

[Michael Orlitzky]

I have tons of code like this:

  from_tuple = uncurry MLBBoxScoreGameBreakdownXml
  to_tuple (MLBBoxScoreGameBreakdownXml a h) = (a,h)

The first function, from_tuple, generalizes easily with `uncurryN` from
Data.Tuple.Curry. But I'm wondering, is there any generic function that
will take a simple data type and cram it into a tuple?

So instead of writing,

  from_tuple = uncurryN MLBBoxScoreGameBreakdownTeamXml
  to_tuple (MLBBoxScoreGameBreakdownTeamXml w x y z) = (w,x,y,z)

I could just do,

  from_tuple = uncurryN MLBBoxScoreGameBreakdownTeamXml
  to_tuple = toTupleGeneric

because things get real ugly when there are ~20 fields in the data type.
