Well, the compiler can use your clean syntax as syntactic sugar for something like the Record (that is a kind of struct) of mine:

Something!(record(t1, t2, t3), record(s1, s2, s3))

I don't know how much LDC/DMD are currently able to remove such temporary structs. It looks like an important optimization if you start using those Python-like types (Record) often enough.

I presume something like this will see the light in D2.
