template Tuple(T...) { alias T Tuple; }

void f(T...)(int arg0 = 0, T argN = Tuple!());

static this() { f(); }

Compiler output:
test.d(3): Error: cannot implicitly convert expression (tuple()) of type () to
()
test.d(5): Error: template instance test.f!() error instantiating

The compiler requires a default value for argN, because it comes after another
optional argument, but it doesn't seem like an empty tuple can be specified.
