Overview

Specialization of Scope for working on a tuple specifically.

This class works hand-in-hand with TupleExpression as it provides a scope for their evaluation on tuples. It also provides a handle for implementing a flyweight design pattern on tuples through the ‘__set_tuple` method.

Example:

scope = TupleScope.new
expr  = TupleExpression["status > 10"]
relation.each do |tuple|
  expr.evaluate(scope.__set_tuple(tuple))
end
