This is basically what Phobos's Tuple is.
auto x = tuple(value_for_x, value_for_y);

I thought about using them but they are not the same. A tuple
cannot have functionality. It's not as general as a struct or
class and it doesn't look as nice if the struct is large... and
if we were to use a class we don't get to inherit.
I suppose one could use delegates but it's still a pain because
to setup and ends up being more terse than just going about it
the standard way.
