At present d[1, 2] d[(1, 2)] are semantically equivalent.

There is a proposal, that d[1, 2, a=3, b=4] d[(1, 2), a=3, b=4] be semantically equivalent.

I find this troubling, for example because fn(1, 2, a=3, b=4) fn((1, 2), a=3, b=4) are semantically different.

I think I've understood your point. To be sure, what's the Steven proposal?
