          Issue ID: 16458
           Summary: std.typecons.namedTuple
           Product: D
           Version: D2
          Hardware: x86_64
                OS: Linux

          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P1

Currently creating named tuples is a bit wordy:

Tuple!(double, "x", double, "y")(1.0, 2.0);


This could be simplified by adding a namedTuple function:

namedTuple!("x", "y")(1.0, 2.0);

I have an implementation in ggplotd (named aes [1]), which could be used if
people think this is a good idea.
