I didn't even know this. In Python, it doesn't matter anyway, because it 
is dynamically typed, and you can assign arbitrary values to the same 
variable.

Apparently, writing foreach (index,_;something) in D isn't a special 
case either; it just declares a variable named _. Several nested loops 
using _ are not possible.

PS: let's hope Walter recognizes the need of *good* syntax for a simple, 
basic language construct like tuples. Just look at language_fan's D code 
and compare it with the corresponding Python code posted afterward. The 
D code looks so ridiculous.
