\DOC strip_pair

\TYPE {strip_pair : (term -> term list)}

\SYNOPSIS
Iteratively breaks apart tuples.

\DESCRIBE
{strip_pair("(t1,...,tn)")} returns {["t1";...;"tn"]}.
A term that is not a tuple is simply returned as the sole element of a list.
Note that
{
   strip_pair(list_mk_pair ["t1";...;"tn"])
}
\noindent will not return {["t1";...;"tn"]} if {tn} is a pair or a tuple.

\FAILURE
Never fails.

\EXAMPLE
{
#list_mk_pair ["(1,2)";"(3,4)";"(5,6)"];;
"(1,2),(3,4),5,6" : term

#strip_pair it;;
["1,2"; "3,4"; "5"; "6"] : term list

#strip_pair "1";;
["1"] : term list
}
