           Summary: Inconsistent and confusing documentation
           Product: D
           Version: 2.012
          Platform: PC
               URL: http://digitalmars.com/d/2.0/tuple.html
        OS/Version: Windows
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: www.digitalmars.com

The documentation at http://digitalmars.com/d/2.0/tuple.html is inconsistent with the documentation at http://digitalmars.com/d/2.0/phobos/std_typecons.html

Both pages define "Tuple" differently, however only std.typecons.Tuple is correct. std.typecons.Tuple is consistent with the usage of the word "Tuple" in all other programming languages. Therefore, this page should stay as is.

The article "Tuples" at http://digitalmars.com/d/2.0/tuple.html, however, needs to be rewritten. I would suggest that the entities described on this page be described as "variadic templates" (not "Tuples"), as that more accurately describes the concept being described.
