The problem is that people do unpack the tuple a lot of the time as the first thing when they get the address. I suppose the elements are sometimes later used for things like logging and debug output. Also people are used to conceptually destructuring the address as "host, port" in their heads so it's logical to unpack it.
If that is the issue, a object that unpacks as a two-tuple, but has additional named fields (i.e. a StructSequence) may be an option.
