I will add this answer to the issue 5466. But I hope we'll have the unpacking syntax sugar for tuples. I think this too requires object to see tuples. There are functions in std.math that are better to return a tuple. While having complex numbers as built-in in D is not that useful for most people, I believe tuples are a basic language data type, even more than associative arrays :-) By the way, I have already started using byKey/byValue ranges in my code, and I've already seen a speedup in some programs :-) Bye, bearophile
