Currently tuple() can capture the state of local variables and wrap them in a Tuple struct. However you won't have name access:

-----
import std.typecons;
auto foo()
{
    int x, y;
    return tuple(x, y);
}

void main()
{
    assert(foo.x == 0);  // fails, no "x"
}
-----

As a workaround you can explicitly name the fields at the call site:

-----
auto foo()
{
    int x, y;
    return Tuple!(typeof(x), "x", typeof(y), "y")(x, y);
}
-----

But this is tedious and boring, and we can do much better than this. I propose we introduce either an overload of tuple (if it's possible) or a newly named function which automatically wraps the arguments by name into a tuple.

Here's an example implementation:

-----
import std.string;
import std.typecons;

auto tuplify(Aliases...)()
{
    string gen()
    {
        string[] lhs;
        string[] rhs;

        foreach (idx; 0 .. Aliases.length)
        {
            lhs ~= format("typeof(Aliases[%s])", idx);
            lhs ~= format("__traits(identifier, Aliases[%s])", idx);
            rhs ~= format("Aliases[%s]", idx);
        }

        return format("Tuple!(%s)(%s)", lhs.join(", "), rhs.join(", "));
    }

    return mixin(gen());
}

auto func()
{
    int x = 1;
    string y = "2";
    return tuplify!(x, y);
}

void main()
{
    auto res = func;
    assert(res.x == 1);
    assert(res.y == "2");
}

No, this instead. (per IRC request)

https://gist.github.com/JakobOvrum/5608585
------------------------------------------
import std.typecons : Tuple;
import std.typetuple : TypeTuple;

template NameTypePairs(alias front, vars...)
{
    private enum name = __traits(identifier, front);
    private alias pair = TypeTuple!(typeof(front), name);

    static if(vars.length == 0)
        alias NameTypePairs = pair;
    else
        alias NameTypePairs =  TypeTuple!(pair, NameTypePairs!vars);
}

auto tuplify(vars...)()
{
    return Tuple!(NameTypePairs!vars)(vars);
}

That one is also faster and more generic-style instead of magic-mixin-style. *Nods head in approval*.

I think we should just add tuples to D. I think a possible syntax is
tuple(...).
