std.range.Proxy uses .at!(i) to access items, while std.typecons.Tuple uses
.field[i] to access items. Is it possible for them to use the same syntax&name
to access single items?

(A more general comment about the situation: Zip yields Proxies, this is
probably done for efficiency, but makes Zip itself less standard. If Zip yields
Tuples instead this allows people to use it in a more standard way. To maximize
interoperability D2 needs to standardize more its usage of Tuples. A
possibility is to move the Proxy struct to std.typecons and consider both Tuple
and Proxy the two standard ways to create tuples in D2.)
