First class object, according to Wikipedia[1], means, among other things,
that is "being expressible as an anonymous literal value". Since in
D there is no way to define new literals in library code (until macros are
implemented, I hope =), the only way to add tuple literals that I know of
is adding built-in compiler support. Then assuming, as discussed in this
thread, that you'll propose tuples to have literal values in your blog
post, I don't think you mis-used the term here =)
