To summarize what I would prefer:

Sorry if I am a bit slow and ask for clarifications. Would this work as follow? a) If NO_VARIADIC, PP_TUPLE_TO_SEQ always requires 2 arguments for both the size and the tuple -- as in PP_TUPLE_TO_SEQ(size, (...)). b) If VARIADIC instead, the same PP_TUPLE_TO_SEQ macro can either accept 1 argument for the tuple -- as in PP_TUPLE_TO_SEQ((...)) -- or accept 2 arguments for both the size and the tuple as in a). Is this correct? Thanks a lot!
BOOST_VMD_PP_TUPLE_SIZE(tuple) -> BOOST_PP_TUPLE_SIZE(tuple) or BOOST_PP_TUPLE_SIZE(size, tuple)
BOOST_VMD_PP_TUPLE_ELEM(n, tuple) -> BOOST_PP_TUPLE_ELEM(n, tuple) or BOOST_PP_TUPLE_ELEM(size, n, tuple)
BOOST_VMD_PP_TUPLE_REM_CTOR(tuple) -> BOOST_PP_TUPLE_REM_CTOR(tuple) or BOOST_PP_TUPLE_REM_CTOR(size, tuple)

BOOST_VMD_PP_LIST_TO_DATA(list) -> BOOST_PP_LIST_ENUM(list)
BOOST_VMD_PP_SEQ_TO_DATA(seq) -> BOOST_PP_SEQ_ENUM(seq)
also add: BOOST_PP_REM, BOOST_PP_EAT
The basic gist is to add the low-level variadic stuff and adapt the existing tuple stuff to not require the size.
