Right now these composites will not work if the container is not a Tuple.
See

k = SqExponentialKernel()
kk = KernelSum([k, k])
kk(2, 3) # Errors

Research direction

Start with the KernelSum and KernelProduct entry points and reproduce the provided example using a Vector of Kernel values rather than a Tuple. Trace why calling kk(2, 3) fails, then confirm that both composites work with the shown vector-based construction and still support tuple containers.
