Should we deprecate comma?

Yes, sorry, politics is not for me. Better to go back discussing 
technical matters.

Tuples are simple entities, so in past threads I have given 
examples of all my usages cases. If you want I can copy them 
again here (usage examples don't ask for a specific syntax, they 
are just about the desired semantics).

C code should not silently behave differently in D, even five 
years from now, so I am not interested in using the C comma 
syntax for D tuples. I am OK with a D tuple syntax that is not 
allowed in C.

I want to remove comma operators from D to avoid bugs and to make 
D code more readable. For me those are very important things, 
more important than the little code breaking it causes.
