This is probably mainly a question for Araq, but maybe others are adept in the plans as well. Araq mentioned in a pull request that named tuples might be removed from the language. I'm wondering what is the motivation for this, and what will be the consequences? Will there be an equivalent mechanism that allows ad-hoc type creation, i.e., named tuples would be replaced by something like anonymous objects? Or are there other ways to handle this without breaking existing code?
I'm asking because what I'm currently working on heavily relies on named tuples (they are a key language feature to achieve my mission with NimData: type-safe schema transformation), and I'm not sure if the DSL I'm designing would work without them.
