Also, what's the advantage of (x=1, y=2) over ntuple(x=1, y=2)? I.e., why does this need to be syntax instead of a library?
Agreed. Now that keyword argument dictionaries retain their order, there's no need for new syntax here. In fact, that's one of the key motivating reasons for the feature.
Isn't there a speed aspect? That is, doesn't the library approach require creating (and likely discarding) a dictionary every time a new ntuple is created? The syntax approach wouldn't need to do that. Clément.
