I'd love to have this syntax aswell.

DIP-32 has been dormant since 2013. I've been waiting for builtin 
tuples ever since I started using D. I believe the community 
agrees upon that we want the Python-style syntax to be used. But 
in order for this to be integrated we must wait out the 
deprecation of the C-inherited comma expression to become an 
error. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Didn't Kenji Hara implement one of his proposals in DMD?...I 
might remember wrong.
