std.bind uses parametrized structs as tuples, that's why the assignment works.
It's simply a workaround. IIRC you can see from the executable that those
assignments generate unnecessary runtime code.

For most parts, yes. I left this open because it's a easier to implement and I
could have use for it without having e.g. tuple literals. But I'll leave this
closed now.

I would leave that for Walter to decide.
