But isn't Pair mainly useful when you have the nice a => b syntax for Pair(a,b)?

That turns up this commit: https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/commit/034b8f5599c3dcd3e770ba8af3a9c28ef2497532 To turn this into a version number, see the little shell script on the Compat.jl page -- it produces 0.4.0-dev+818 for this commit.
