What about introduction of tuple in D version 2 ?

So function/method take a tuple as parameter and return a tuple. keyword "void" no longer exists, replaced by "()", the empty tuple.

it will solve many common problems.

// iterate over associative array
foreach( ( char[] key ,char[] value ) ; array.pairs )
    printf("%.*s -> %.*s\n" , key, value );

// swap
(a,b) = (b,a);

// mutiple return value
(int x,int y) = getCoord();

We're certainly going to need some mechanism when freaching (a new term?)
associative containers.
