I think most of the compiler source code for the ideal solution occurs
in at least one of Kenji's rejected pull requests.
AFAICS, it's mostly a matter of convincing the guy who wrote
std.typecons.Tuple and the guy who does not want to break some (easily
replaceable) usages of the comma operator and the identifier "_". :-)
someone was willing to produce.
Someone is often willing to produce awkward language quirks, so I think
being critical of new additions has some value.
