*bows low in supplication*  Absolutely awesome.  At the rate these Tuples of yours are 
going, we won't even /need/ a reflection engine -- which means I can toss a lot of concept 
code.  Just a reflection module in Phobos for a clean interface, and voila.  Maybe a 
standard Interface to be implemented, along with a mixin that handles the majority case.

Oops, sorry, got on a tangent.  Fantastic release; as much as anything, glad to see you 
sweeping out these old deprecations, and very glad to see a new RAII term that fits.
