Walter, please define exactly what a tuple is as being, both
in the context of your post and (presumably) in the D type system.

Without a precise definition of exactly what a tuple is,
your post will at best elucidate responses that also lack a
precise understanding of a tuple is (supposed to be).

There are already a number of responses to your post that focus
on syntax and without any semantic foundation.
