Perhaps my choice of the term "arbitrary length" was confusing here. Alternatives might be "unknown length" or "unspecified length".
It occurs to me that there's one other attribute that makes `tuple` special. It accepts zero-length lists (i.e. `tuple[()]`). Would the proposed variadic TypeVar mechanism also support this? For example, would `Tensor[()]` be legal?
Perhaps `tuple` is just too much of an oddity for us to model using the proposed variadic TypeVar mechanism. I figured it was at least worth exploring the idea, so thanks for the discussion.
