sure, but then you can't initialize it from an array either. yet we
have convient initializer for "convertable" arrays and have no
`opAssign` for the same.

built-in tuple syntax may not arrive for another two years. or five.
or... ;-) adding `opAssign` for arrays is just a convience feature: as
we have ctor for this operation, it would be logical to have `opAssign`
for it too.
