I think the Phobos module "std.typetuple" is not well named because the tuples
can contain values (variables) too.

The std.typecons defines a Tuple. In D1 tuples are generally meant the ones
used in std.typetuple. So I think this module too can be better named. Such
tuples are implemented in D with structs, and in Pascal structs are named
records.

So I propose the following five name changes:

std.typetuple ==> std.tuples
std.typetuple.TypeTuple ==> std.tuples.Tuple

std.typecons => std.records
std.typecons.Tuple ==> std.records.Record
std.typecons.tuple ==> std.records.record
