I think std.typecons.Tuples merit to be a little more citizens in D and Phobos.
I think reducing the usage of "out" argument, and replacing them with a tuple
result, will avoid mistakes and make the code look better. In std.math there are
functions that maybe are better to use std.typecons.Tuple:
pure nothrow @trusted real frexp(real value, out int exp);
==>
pure nothrow @trusted Tuple!(real, int) frexp(real value);
nothrow @trusted real remquo(real x, real y, out int n);
==>
nothrow @trusted Tuple!(real, int) remquo(real x, real y);
They're defined that way because they come from C, and they're in IEEE754.
