-An attempt to use index on a type which doesn't implement the `std::ops::Index`
-trait was performed.
+Attempted to index a value whose type doesn't implement the
+`std::ops::Index` trait.
 
 Erroneous code example:
 
 ```compile_fail,E0608
 0u8[2]; // error: cannot index into a value of type `u8`
 ```
 
-To be able to index into a type it needs to implement the `std::ops::Index`
-trait. Example:
+Only values with types that implement the `std::ops::Index` trait
+can be indexed with square brackets. Example:
 
 ```
 let v: Vec<u8> = vec![0, 1, 2, 3];
 
 // The `Vec` type implements the `Index` trait so you can do:
 println!("{}", v[2]);
 ```
+
+Tuples and structs are indexed with dot (`.`), not with brackets (`[]`),
+and tuple element names are their positions:
+```ignore(pseudo code)
+// this (pseudo code) expression is true for any tuple:
+tuple == (tuple.0, tuple.1, ...)
+```
