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.
