`Invalid parameter cast` for array of tuples

[jackfischer]

type Example {
    required x: str;
    required y: str;
}

with  examples := <array<tuple<
    x: str,
    y: str,
  >>>$examples,

for e in array_unpack(examples) union (
  insert Example {
    x:=e.x,
    y:=e.y
  }
)

In the CLI REPL, I get Unimplemented input type descriptor: Array(ArrayTypeDescriptor { id: 72fb1422-dca3-5923-b314-f19f416e38c7, type_pos: TypePos(1), dimensions: [None] })

Thank you @jaclarke - should i file separately for the CLI?

It looks like there's already an issue open for array inputs (https://github.com/edgedb/edgedb-cli/issues/714) and tuples (https://github.com/edgedb/edgedb-cli/issues/962).

@quinchs Do you know what the priority is for these issues? It looks like there's something of an open question on how to actually represent the input/how it would work with rustyline?

No, I don't, but I can work on that now.

how to actually represent the input/how it would work with rustyline?

I think we could just repeatedly ask for the inner element input until the array is completed via keybind? I'll play around and find something.
