Everything for it to work was already there, just the parser needed to support it.
This is opposed to the
let (a: int, b: int) = ...
variant, since this way is more compatible with existing AST, supports the new type inference, and is how some other languages do it which is what convinced me (though Scala supports both).While we're at it also give type and differing length information in the error messages for non-tuples and differing length tuples.
No documentation or changelog yet, probably should have been in 2.0 since it's a grammar addition
