Oh, it is because of the implicit construction thing, see my 
answer here to learn more:

You can construct the named tuple from a tuple() but you can't 
convert one to another since the names change the type.

I don't think the language has a solution with this since you 
can't implicit construct nor overload operators on built in 
arrays (if it is a custom array, you can do an opOpAssign).

What you could do is

alias ShortName = Tuple!(int, "A");

ShortName[] a;
a ~= ShortName(3);

... of course, at that point, you can also just use a regular 
struct too...
