Rules for unary functions, alway return tuple?

[willtebbutt]

They currently return the rule, as opposed to a 1-tuple where the only element is the rule. This is inconsistent with n-ary functions, which return a tuple of rules, and makes writing code annoying. What would people's feelings towards changing this convention such that unary functions do in fact return a tuple of rules be?

Everything will have to be a tuple once we start including the function itself

Not if the method in question doesn't any arguments :P

Right, anyway, I think we should always so a tuple.

So AbstractRule actually always acts like it is a 1-tuple.
Because it overloads iterate and getindex.

But I don't love it at all.
Seems better to leave that kinda sugar to definition macros
