Tuples can be productivity features.

Between them, sumtypes and our excellent CT introspection capabilities, you can write up the data representation for some web form and have it generate it in a very short time frame.

Tuples are a key data representation in mathematics everything devolves to them, it'll help us in some surprising ways.

No worries, it does not offend me.

Personally, I am all for breaking code, but my understanding is we are no longer engaging in that until editions are set up.

I think the main hindrances to implementing it are:
- You need to understand what is the correct fix. (I think it is obvious but somehow people still seem to have different views on this.)
- You need to figure out the relevant DMD code (which could be _a lot_ of separate locations) and actually fix it.
- The changes are unlikely to make it in before editions, at which point you will have to update the changes in order to be compatible with editions.

But by all means, go ahead. Just be prepared for a bit of a headache while getting it to work and to then repeatedly rebase highly sprinkled out changes for a significant duration of time and/or to reimplement it multiple times.
