Unfortunately this will not work. There was a tuple proposal

ambiguous as to whether it's a tuple or a delegate.
Can you find the exact case? I'm really interested in getting
proper tuple syntax support and I think that's important to
cover all the possible cases before can agree on something and
move towards implementing it.
Here's the thread where it's pointed out:

Aside from the empty tuple, I can only find Timon's comment:

0 "Inside tuple literal, ; never appears."
{{;}} // a tuple not matching your specification
{{if(foo()){}}} // a non-tuple matching your specification
This is not a serious problem, because it just means that the DIP
needs to be rephrased. There is no actual ambiguity.
And here's Kenji's DIP:
