They're automatically generated. As I understand it they've been holding off on improving them until they have the self hosted compiler working, as it will be easier at that point.

To be fair it's really hard to "search" for tuples and anyonymous structs and get an understanding from "reading the stdlib". It's also enough of a departure from C (but not obviously readable like types on the left) to warrant some sort of big red flag in the lang docs... Understanding this tripped me up a bit
I used "ziglearn" to understand ("chapter 1" and "chapter 2" have tons of foundational stuff): https://ziglearn.org/chapter-1/
I used the language reference for the details: https://ziglang.org/documentation/master/#Introduction
