Yes, tuples are a core strength of D, but the syntax is not 
great. My hope is with the tuple dip we will be able to have a 
python like syntax:

(Python numpy example)
arr = numpy.array([('a', 0), ('b', 1)])

My gut feeling is, we will be able to compete with numpy if we 
can provide tuple syntax as python can provide.

Also named arguments is really important here, fortunately there 
is already someone working on the implementation of the approved 
dip.

Kind regards
