It's a nice idea, but if all structs become tuples, and D needs to support separate compilation, then modules that define structs need to contain the compiled methods (instantiated templates) that implement all the features of Tuples. So to keep programs small I think it's better to keep structs simple, and define a Tuple with richer semantics.
