DIP32: Uniform tuple syntax

[kenji hara]

For tuple values with named fields, we need more thoughts about semantics.

alias MyPair = typeof({1, "hi"});
alias MyRecord = typeof({count:1, msg:"hi"});
static assert(is(MyPair == MyRecord));  // true or false?
static assert(is(MyPair  : MyRecord));  // true or false?
static assert(is(MyRecord  : MyPair));  // true or false?
alias MyStudent = typeof({num:1, name:"John"});
static assert(is(MyRecord == MyStudent));  // true or false?
