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.

Brings to mind C#'s new ability to declare locals within 'out' 
arguments.
if (int.TryParse("123", out int i)) { ...use 'i'... }
