Subject: [PATCH] Drop reference to implicit conversion from named to regular
 tuples

The NamedTuple spec mentioned that `.toTuple` was inserted implicitly to convert
from a named to a regular tuple. But this was not implemented. The sentiment is
that this presents an opportunity to get more experience with the feature before
deciding whether the conversion is actually beneficial. For now, one can implement
the conversion by hand if desired, like this:
```scala
given [N <: Tuple, V <: Tuple] => Conversion[NamedTuple.NamedTuple[N, V], V] = _.toTuple
```

 `toTuple` is defined as an extension method in the `NamedTuple` object.
 It returns the given tuple unchanged and simply "forgets" the names.

 A `.toTuple` selection is inserted implicitly by the compiler if it encounters a named tuple but the expected type is a regular tuple. So the following works as well:
 ```scala
 val x: (String, Int) = Bob  // works, expanded to Bob.toTuple

 Note that conformance rules for named tuples are analogous to the rules for named parameters. One can assign parameters by position to a named parameter list.
