### Extending The Syntax

First, let's extend our existing language with expressions for
tuples. For simplicity, let's use pairs `(a,b)` instead of general
`n`-element tuples. This would make typechecking less cumbersome while still
having the interesting effect of making the number of types in our language

I've highlighted the new lines. The additions consist of the `Pair` constructor, which
represents the tuple expression `(a, b)`, and the `Fst` and `Snd` constructors,
which represent the `fst e` and `snd e` expressions, respectively. In
a similar vein, we extend our `SafeExpr` GADT:

that the two types are equal, and Idris can infer an equality proof in
the form of `Refl`. We return this proof by writing it in a `Just`.
Line 23 is the catch-all case for any combination of types we didn't handle.
Any combination of types we don't handle is false, and thus, this case
Any combination of types we don't handle is invalid, and thus, this case
