Allow named TUPLE elements as defined by ECMA chapter 7.12 Tuples and agents:

It is also possible in the tuple type declaration to label the components, as in TUPLE[x: A; y: B; z: C], making it simpler to access the elements, as in your_tuple.y, with the proper type, here B, rather than your_tuple.item(2) of type ANY by default.
This is not much more than what already is in Liberty with item_x and set_item_x, but with user defined names.

I think this is a nice feature, which does not violate the simple language principles of Eiffel.

We shall document this on the wiki.

I also think it would be good to have a wiki page for "EMCA - What Liberty does (not) (yet) implement".

What do you think?

I think we should NOT implement this for Adler and decide after the Adler release whether we want it in Bell. I could imagine a "virtual" milestone "later" for exactly this type of feature requests. Or should we just assign it to bell and keep the option to move it to a later release when working on bell? Or is "no milestone assigned" exactly this?
