I think this whole thread is approaching things wrongly. It should be:

1. What do we need?

2. What does a solution look like in the current language?

3. Which parts of the solution are frequent/cumbersome enough to warrant 
a language change?

Instead there have been 1001 proposals for new syntax for tuple 
literals, one cuter than the next.
