No they're not. Sure, currently they look /like/ a tuple of types, but
that's not what they actually are. This visual similarity is a side-effect
of the current syntax.

A function argument list is a tuple of course, but each argument in the
signature also identifies the passing mechanism and the access mechanism
and not only the type.

Even in current D one cannot say that a function argument list such as
"(inout int, out int, in int)" is a type tuple.
