I see, and you are right. Then why not rename tuples of D2 to a more correct name (typelists)? Being D2 in alpha still there's time to rename invariant as immutable, tuples as typelists... :-) Giving the right names to things is important. >I added a few (soon to be released).< May I ask what ones? My Records (of D1) have: - attribute length - opCmp that uses a recursive structCmp() that works even with nested normal structs tpp :-) - opEquals - toHash (this too is recursive nested normal structs too) - opIn_r - toString - opCat, that attaches a Record to another Record/generic struct, creating a new Record. All that is useful. This allows them to work almost as Python tuples. But Record/record doesn't support a good unpacking syntax, of course. You may need compiler support for this. Bye, bearophile
