This is basically a very situation-dependent thing, as it 
sometimes is just not able to deduce the currrently initialized 
type, although I've already built-in recognition pass-throughs if 
template parameters couldn't be satisfied.
I've also made hard-coded Tuple completion available - and 
although this might not be the best idea, it's actually a big 
leap forward even without having to spend too much time on 
deducing each template (or handling CTFE - this is still a thing 
I don't want to touch atm).
