Why would you prefer tuples to be built in? 

I wrote struct templates like this:

struct Tuple(T1, T2) {
T1 _1;
T2 _2;
};

and function templates like this:

template tuple(T1, T2) {
Tuple!(T1, T2) tuple(T1 t1, T2 t2) {
Tuple!(T1, T2) tu;
tu._1 = t1;
tu._2 = t2;
return tu;
}
}

I made templates like this for between 2 and 10 elements.
And you get the same effect. Refer to a tuple type by
Tuple(Type1, Type2) and create one by calling
tuple(value1, value2).
