I discussed this with Walter, and we concluded that we could deprecate the comma operator if it helps tuples. So I started with this:

Unfortunately, I started much cockier than I ended. The analysis in there fails to construct a case even half strong that deprecating the comma operator could significantly help tuples. Well it essentially concludes that tuples are mostly fine as they are, and attempts to embellish them syntactically are marred with unexpected problems. Nevertheless, I sure have missed aspects all over, so contributions are appreciated.


Thanks,

Andrei
