Hi
Is there some reason why tuples are not part of the core
language (like, say, struct, which to me is v.similar) but has
to be pulled in via ```import std.typecons;```?
Just because it is not implemented by Timon in upstream D
You're confusing the issue. Timon's attempted PR did try to add
tuples to core D, but it still pulled in runtime library code -
that's exactly the problem. A language feature that depends on
library code violates the clean separation: it's either core or
library, not both. I hope it won't be accepted, tuples should be
native to the language, meaning it should not depend on runtime
code, the compiler should support that by default, just like
`struct`.
