If that were the case then it may not be that bad. 

I would not use it that much as I favor reusability and would normally create an enum for it for maximum flexibility and reuse. 

I like tuples but I don't use them much and I have survived in other languages without them. :-)

This is all sugar to me. I may use it when putting code together quickly but not in formal APIs. 

I really look forward to seeing other features in Swift that will elevate the language and run-time to levels where Objective-C still has an edge over Swift. In particular reflection, property behaviors, KVC, etc.
