Add a static_tuple.as_tuples() helper.

It will pass over an iterable, and ensure that it and all children
are simple tuples. Useful for formatting.
Also fix a small bug in the reference checking code that assumes
the values passed in are the same type, but sometimes they are a
list rather than a tuple.
