Hello,
I'm new to this mailing list.  I'm trying to learn D  to eventually use
it in production code.
I'm a little bit intimidated by the fact that the topics in the d-learn
list look rather advanced to a newbie like me.
I have 3 fairly simple questions:

1) Does D support something like the javascript 1.8 destructuring
assigment (multiple assigment in python):

[a, b] = [b, a];

This, or something quite like it, was covered on Saturday in the thread
"Alias/Ref Tuples ?". This works (but is hardly as elegant as Python's
syntax:

import std.typetuple : TypeTuple;
import std.typecons : tuple;

TypeTuple!(a, b) = tuple(b,a);
