Oh.... I see.  That's just a struct tuple with a bunch of ctfe code gen 
inside.  Dang.  I thought Walter had made D2 able to return "classic" 
Tuples.

Oh well.

The doc string has a great example ddoc at it's finest:
"""
A shortcut notation is $(D_PARAM obj.)&#95;$(D_PARAM 0), $(D_PARAM 
obj.)&#95;$(D_PARAM 1) etc.
"""

Great.  You have to run it through ddoc and a browser just to to find 
out what the heck the mystery shortcut notation is.
