[Yhc] make_tuple for arbitrary number of elements

Hi YHC,
I'm trying to do a make_tuple of 11 elements.
Is the correct structure to do:
MAKE_NODE(ret, G_infoTuple, N_NORMAL);
...
node->args[0] = thing0
node->args[1] = thing1
node->args[2] = thing2
node->args[3] = thing3
...
node->args[10] = thing10
Then, how does the garbage collector know the number of elements?
I would have thought that it would basically have been make_array, but
make array uses data, not args; how does data help the situation?
Finally, I would think that I would nead to heap_pushGlobal any time I
call anything that calls heap_alloc, but not all functions do this:
Node* _primIntegerQuotRem(Node* node){
Node* quot = _primIntegerQuot(node);
Node* rem = _primIntegerRem(node);
return make_tuple(quot, rem);
}
Could the GC not be called during _primIntegerRem, and collect quot?
Thanks,
--Lane
