Looks like there’s a missing set of parenthesis. I would expect:

let x = ((3 x (0, 2 x “”)), (2 x NSFileManager()))

To gives these result

As for the original
let x = (3 x (0, 2 x “”), 2 x NSFileManager())

The results would be:
let x0 = x.0 // is (Int, (String, String)
let x3 = x.3 // is NSFileManager
let xIdx0 = x.0[0] // is Int

If we want to spin it off into a separate proposal, I think that the most logical split is to have a proposal for subscripts on uniform tuples, and a a proposal for the shorthand syntax and a way to initialize values of these types.
