Why does Phobos not provide a method to easily deconstruct tuples? Here's a trivial implementation:
```d
//Similar to C++'s `std::tie`. Can anyone tell me why it's called `tie`?
void tie(T...)(typeof(T) src){
        static foreach(ind, i; src){
                T[ind] = i;
        }
}

//Usage example:
import std.stdio, std.typecons;

auto tupRetFn() => tuple(47, "test!");

void main(){
        string x = "discarded";
        int y;
        tie!(y, x) = tupRetFn().expand;
        writeln(x,", ",y);
}
```
Not having this is like if Phobos didn't have `AliasSeq`. Yes you can make your own, but it's wasteful boilerplate.
