Reopened because they are two quite different issues.

In Issue 9593 I've asked for a way to avoid the printing of the tuple type with
a formatting string using "-":

writefln("%-s", data[0]);
==>
("Fred", 5)

writefln("%-(%s %)", data);
==>
("Fred", 5) ("Bob", 10) ("Mark", 30)


While in this issue I have suggested to print the alias name (or to introduce a
NamedTuple):

alias Pair2 = Tuple!(int, int);
auto a2 = [Pair2(1, 2), Pair2(3, 4)];
a2.writeln;
==>
[Pair2(1, 2), Pair2(3, 4)]
