(in Python)  let's say i have a list of candidates
like this
            a= [ (12, "Data1"),  (5, "data"),  (4, "..."), ...]

and i want to find the Tuple with the Min (1st) tag value.

in Python that's what   min()   gives, by default.

                  min(a)


Is this the same in Scheme(Gauche) ?
