Blame Walter for that. He used the word Tuple to mean something
counterintuitive.

Later, Andrei came along and wrote std.typecons, which uses the word
Tuple correctly (i.e. the same way it's used in every other
programming language under the sun).

It's a different beast. You use it differently. The first ten fields
may be accessed with ._0 to ._9. Any field may be accessed as
.field[n]. Any /named/ field may be accessed by name.
