Description

The following is a valid Julia function:
(a, (b, d), e) -> d + e
but doesn't work with RuntimeGeneratedFunctions (normalize_args throws an error). I've tried adding an override for :tuple that returns Tuple(normalize_args.(expr.args)) but then the new function throws an error:
TypeError: in Type, in parameter, expected Type, got a value of type Tuple{Symbol, Tuple{Symbol, Symbol}, Symbol}

Research direction

Start at normalize_args and reproduce the nested-tuple function shown in the issue. Trace the resulting new-function error and verify that RuntimeGeneratedFunctions accepts tuple arguments such as (a, (b, d), e) and evaluates d + e without the reported TypeError.
