Yes, but it would be less elegant. As it is, these are normal functions written to operate on a single model instance, and I just happen to use them with `map` and `forEach` to apply them to many instances. Rewriting them to explicitly take tuples makes the code more awkward. Obviously this ends up boiling down to code style, but I would be very sorry to see the capability to essentially prepare a bunch of argument lists and apply them all to a function go.
