One handy tuple syntax in Haskell allows you to name both the items of
a tuple and it whole:


void foo(t2@{int a, string b}) {
    // here a and b are tuple items and t2 is the whole tuple.
}
auto t1@{x, y} = {10, "hi"};
foo(t1);

I suggest instead this syntax:

auto {x, y} t1 = {10, "hi"};

It's closer to regular D syntax.

It is already taken and equivalent to:

{x, y} t1 = {10, "hi"};
