Tuple destructuring syntax, straight from the horse's mouth =)

However, you said that you want destructuring for std.typecons.Tuple. Does this extend to built-in tuples? Looking at Kenji's DIP[1], it seems the proposed syntax is for built-in tuples.

Whoops, link to the DIP: http://wiki.dlang.org/DIP32

I just got a chance to watch this, and one thing that I found more unsettling than your posture was your assertion that destructors and finalizers are "the same thing", in contrast to Hans-J. Boehm, who asserts that C++ destructors and Java finalizers "are completely different facilities". I assume that you've read Boehm's report  http://www.hpl.hp.com/techreports/2002/HPL-2002-335.html and if so I'd be interested in why you think he is mistaken, since both of your statements can't be correct.
