Again, that's not "my opinion", these are facts, collected 
everyday in my working room, and I'm just reporting them.

The problem lays in the "Tuple" word, and in the "Type" word, so 
just avoid them completely.

It is up to you, D developers, to take care of our experiences, 
as we must teach D, or just ignore them.

You are free to judge them as you want, but I don't have the 
burden to prove anything, as my company is a business user of D, 
not a contributor.

I just don't understand why, every single time, we business users 
report our experience, they are just labeled as 'opinions', or 
they are declassed to minor problems, as in the never ending 
'break-my-code' discussions.
