Auto return types i find dangerous to use.
I found `auto` and `ref`(yes just `ref`) return types very useful
for bypassing the type system, eg.:
```D
///function requires lvalue and the return value can be of any
type while still being the same data.
ref mutateSomething(A)(ref A something) {
static if (isArray!A){/*...*/} else {/*...*/}
return something;
}
```
Other than that, i've found tuples limited in usage compared to
just using a struct or static arrays.(the main problem is the
inability to use runtime indexing even if the types match.)
The rest, i don't use from lack of interest or awareness it even
exists.
