Tuple assignment

Python has tuple assignment so you see things like:

        previous, current = current, previous + current

especially if you are doing silly things like calculating Fibonacci
Sequence values. Translating this to D, you end up with:

        TypeTuple!(current, next) = tuple(next , current +next);

I am assuming this is horrendously inefficient at run time compared to
having the intermediate value explicit:

        auto t = next;
        next = current + next;
        current = t;

or is it?
