I mean it is not much shorter than in D

alias Point = Tuple!(int, "x", int, "y");
Point getPoint(){
    return Point(500, 400);
}

What would be nice though if tuples would be implicitly convertible to named tuples, if the types matches.

Tuple!(int, "x", int, "y") getPoint(){
    return tuple(500, 400);
}
