I have a Tuple2 of List[List[String]] and I'd like to be able to convert the tuple to a list so that I can then use List.transpose(). Is there any way to do this? Also, I know it's a Pair, though I'm always a fan of generic solutions.
Are there any methods included in Scala to convert tuples to lists?

Works with any tuple (scala 2.8):
myTuple.productIterator.toList
Scala 2.7:
(0 to (myTuple.productArity-1)).map(myTuple.productElement(_)).toList
Not sure how to maintain type info for a general Product or Tuple, but for Tuple2:
def tuple2ToList[T](t: (T,T)): List[T] = List(t._1, t._2)
You could, of course, define similar type-safe conversions for all the Tuples (up to 22).
