No, that highly depends on the background of the newcomer, 
everyone I introduced D to , only found it confusing that it was 
named Type*.

Type* = A construct that powerful it can contain Type:s as well?

Whereas the intuitive meaning would be:

Type* = A construct that is limited to Type:s only.

Before this thread I didn't realize newcomers found the Tuple 
part confusing, I know that's the case now, but after viewing the 
poll, it seems to be a minority. But then again, how many 
newcomers would find Seq confusing, we will never know.
