Currently, it's valid C syntax and valid D syntax. In your proposal it
would be valid tuple syntax too.
Sorry Ellery but you, as others, are also focusing on syntax and not
a semantic foundation for what tuples are. I note that bearophile
makes similar points about the meaning of tuples in a latter post.
Without understanding what the meaning of tuples is and what they
might be good for, it (imho) doesn't make sense to enter into
syntactic arguments.
