Embeddings.create's types should support `input` being a `tuple[str]`
Confirm this is a feature request for the Python library and not the underlying OpenAI API.

Describe the feature or improvement you're requesting
Currently the type for input in Embeddings.create is: Union[str, List[str], Iterable[int], Iterable[Iterable[int]]]. It would be nice if the documented type could be expanded to support tuple[str] as well. Passing a tuple of strings works in local testing. The narrow type definition makes type checking tools complain needlessly. Supporting a tuple is useful because it allows for combining with itertools.batched to break large inputs into acceptable blocks.
Current alternatives are to convert the tuple to a list (unnecessary copy), or input=cast(list[str], input) (type hole/fragility).
