New Issue: Default-initialized tuples of arrays aren't currently supported

Summary of Problem

[this is an update to issue #15759, whose behavior has improved from a segfault to a user-facing error]

Chapel currently doesn’t support default initialization of tuples of arrays. This is something that we should ultimately support for the sake of orthogonality. I originally ran into this issue while looking into @dataPulverizer’s GitHub - dataPulverizer/KernelMatrixBenchmark: Benchmarking Kernel Matrix Calculations in D, Julia, and Chapel effort.
