Tuples are a basic part of a language, they need to come before web tools, loggers, numeric libraries and so on. You build Phobos and all those things with a language. So if the language is better, you will work better.

>From what I've seen so far in this thread the Tuple/Record library solution will be kept, but some built-in syntax sugar (unpacking, and maybe for the literals) helps in making tuple usage more handy and clean.
