Yeah I'd like this too, but I have vague feelings that it can be done
with an anonymous class. Is there such a thing? probably not. But I do
note that creating 'quick' classes is a bit easier in 3.0 ... multiple
assignments from functions would be useful though.

(a, b, c) = foo(m);

public (string, int, double)  foo (int m) { }

There's not a problem I can't fix, because I can do it in the mix.
