For my next trick .. it would be nice if you could do

        struct X { int a; int b; };
        val x = X { a=1; b=2; };

or at least:

        val x = struct X { a=1; b=2; };

or perhaps:

        val x = X : a(1), b(2) {};

or something. At present structs get a tuple constructor.
A struct is really a lightweight class .. and also a tuple
with named components and also a record .. need to unify 
something there ..

BTW: I think SML has records but not really tuples, instead

        a.member // named component
        a.1     // actually 1 is just the name

so that

        (1,2,3)

is just shorthand for

        (.1=1, .2=2, .3=3)
