Hmm I recently had to find out the various options to get values from a tuple
via SPI - referred by docs to the contrib examples :-(
Docs did not help and the examples only cover very basic cases.
I found the quickest way to find the list of macro's available was to read the source code :-)

I suppose the source is the final layer of documentation!
