Andrei's stance is, either a library addon or ship D without that feature. D's library already contains both tuples and algebraic data types. They're simple to use, almost like in Python. The reason for library addons isn't that builtin features make less sense, the reason is that TDPL is already out and we can't improve the language in any radical way.
People have proposed syntax that won't break existing code (e.g. T@ vs T). It also means T is still nullable by default, and that's good enough for me. Better than nothing anyway.
In addition, I really hope there will be TDPL 2nd edition some day.
