Ok, some little annoyance indeed.

In the same vein, something that is annoying is to have to create record
for returning multiple values from a function. I would rather like to
have support for tuple.

   A, B : Integer;

   function MyName return (Integer, Integer);

And then be able to write:

   (A, B) :=3D (9, 12);

or
   (A, B) :=3D MyName;

Today you need to create a record just for that.
