Mapslices to tuple of vectors

General Usage
1

I have a function that maps a vector to a tuple. I would like to apply this to a matrix by rows, and get a tuple of vectors (mapslices gives me a vector of tuples, I tried zip but I could not get it working). MWE (inelegant, using the first element):

function maprows(f, A)
    B = vec(mapslices(f, A, 1))
    ntuple(i->map(x->x[i], B), length(B[1]))
end
f(x) = (x[1:2], x[3], x[4:5]) # number of elements is not necessarily 3
A = ones(10, 5)
C = maprows(f, A)

Notice that C is a

Tuple{Array{Array{Float64,1},1},
      Array{Float64,1},
      Array{Array{Float64,1},1}}

What is your question? Does your maprows function what you expect?
A way to convert the output of mapslices to a tuple of vectors would be for example:

julia> maprows(f, A) = tuple(collect.(mapslices(f, A, 1))...)
maprows (generic function with 1 method)

julia> C = maprows(f, A)
(Any[[1.0, 1.0], 1.0, [1.0, 1.0]],
 Any[[1.0, 1.0], 1.0, [1.0, 1.0]],
 Any[[1.0, 1.0], 1.0, [1.0, 1.0]],
 Any[[1.0, 1.0], 1.0, [1.0, 1.0]],
 Any[[1.0, 1.0], 1.0, [1.0, 1.0]])

It does, the question is about doing it better (more idiomatically). The function you proposed does something completely different.
