I'm not sure if this is off topic or redundant but couldn't many of these things be added to the standard library without a special syntax. for instance s function like unpack could allow

    import std.typecons;
    int a;
    char b ;
    unpack(a,b) = tuple(5, 'A');
    assert(a==5 && b=='A');

instead 0f

    (int a, char b) = (5,'A');

or whatever.

Would this help the problem?

This is already possible with standard library but the fact that declarations need to be separate makes people not happy.
