I use std.typecons.Tuple quite a lot (...ever since I discovered it!),
as it allows functions to return multiple values.

I dislike the /other/ meaning "tuple", which is a random mix of types
and values - e.g. (int, float, 3). I'd rather they were called
something else - if indeed they need a name at all! (I suspect they
don't. The phrase "variadic template parameters" describes what they
are just fine).
