Description
Describe the bug
Stan 2.33 brings us Tuple datatype. I think we need to handle this with a custom numpy dtype depending on the tuple type.
How can we access tuple type and pack incoming data correctly? And how should user give out the data for inits / data.
Custom numpy dtypes are easy to create and also support access to individual components, but we probably should either have small example how to work with them or a functionality to unpack them.

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. First clarify how Stan 2.33 tuple types should be accessed and how tuple data should be packed or unpacked for inits and data, including whether custom NumPy dtypes or examples are expected; done means the supported representation and user-facing behavior are defined.
