Not offended at all :), in fact it was not even my suggestion
that it be included in the standard. I was just knee jerk
reacting to the comment that, just because something is simple to
do precludes it from getting standardized

but the requested solution is not "universal" enough to be
included in
Phobos (what if i want an index instead of a value? or (index,

tuple? or just check if it is there? or find either `int` or
`double`?).
it's easier to write specialized template for required cases
than to try
to make it generic (and complex) enough. but it's much harder
to write
that in c++, to the extent that it's easier to include that
things in
standard.
just stay with us and you will see that D shines in such things
(and in
many other areas too ;-).
