Nice way to cast a homogeneous tuple

Python has no C/C++ like "type-cast". "int" is the builtin integer type, 
and instanciating an object in Python is done by calling it's type. 
Remember that in Python, everything (at least everything you can bind to 
a name) is an object (including functions, types etc), and that 
functions are just one kind of callable objects (types - aka "classes" 
-, methods and a few other builtin objects are callable too, and you can 
of course define your own callable type).
