Sorry, most of my responses are really short because I'm working 
on other things at the moment.

I'm just trying to say a few sentences to make a point and go 
back to what I'm doing, but it's not going as well as I would 
have hoped.

It's because you're solving a different problem than the one I'm 
mentioning.
I'm telling you the problem (struct == behavior is wrong), you're 
telling me there is a workaround (tuples).


I'm not looking for a workaround, I already know enough 
workarounds for it.

I'm just trying to tell you it's a _workaround_ to a _problem_.
The fact that it exists doesn't make the problem go away.

Honestly, out of all the things I said, you also picked and chose 
single one to give nonsensical replies to.

I said C and C++ and VB.NET and Matlab etc., and you just replied 
with "C struct doesn't even have ==".

Not only did you completely miss my first point there (why aren't 
other languages doing the same thing?), you also missed my second 
point:
If == doesn't make sense, it shouldn't be defined at all.

Again, my purpose in mentioning this wasn't to look for a 
workaround, but to point out the problem itself, see above.


I'm not having trouble finding workarounds, I'm just pointing out 
examples of why people aren't finding D usable (or why they 
consider it broken).
