Not being a Dlang expert, I probably qualify as the intended 
target audience for this article and having absorbed your 
previous article so readily, I thought I would try to expound a 
little where I stumbled with this article.

I was clipping along until I reached the "Replacing a single item 
by index" section. Having mentioned earlier that AliasSeq was 
defined in std.meta, I thought this section started out by saying 
that this was the implementation of the Replace meta-function in 
the internals of std.meta, and consequently, because it is marked 
as private (to the std.meta module), I can not use this function 
(confusingly). As you can see, the wording took me down a path 
you did not intend. When I reached the bottom of this section, it 
was helpful to see the intended call with 3 arguments. The 
earlier 4 arguments was puzzling. I now think that the "internal" 
implementation was meant to convey the role that "ReplaceImpl" 
would if this were C++ templates (with the extra argument used to 
count to the match). Anyway, this particular section seems to be 
better digested for me from the bottom upwards, i.e., starting 
with an example of its use.

Also, the Join function might be better placed in the previous 
section.

Do consider that I may just be a little off in my reading 
comprehension today so please weigh my thoughts accordingly. I 
have greatly appreciated the recent articles by you and others. 
Thanks authors!
