Seeing this:

   alias Tuple!(TP, 8) TR;  // TR is now float,float,3,8
   alias Tuple!(TP, TP) TS; // TS is float,float,3,float,float,3

makes me really wish the syntax for typedef/alias were:

   alias newname = oldname;

I always thought the ordering for C++'s typedef was goofy.  I get it 
backwards about half the time I think, just because it's basically an 
assignment perversely written the other way around from all other 
assignments.
