An error.

Nothing has stopped us from optimizing the layout further by stop using a tuple. In that sense this proposal is purely syntactic indeed. I got this idea from Joe. So I’ll just quote him here :P

“...makes it easier to allow layout optimization, since the layout of each payload would be unique to the enum instead of having to play double duty as a tuple. Since tuples are structural types and can be dynamically passed into generic contexts we're constrained by the limitations of value witness tables in laying them out; no overlapping spare bits or anything like that."
