This is an usage example of std.typetuple.staticMap from the online docs:

alias T = staticMap!(Unqual, int, const int, immutable int);
static assert(is(T == TypeTuple!(int, int, int)));

staticMap is similar to map, it maps a given template on a sequence of items.
Using Haskell syntax (http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Kind ) it has kind:

staticMap :: (* -> *) -> [*] -> [*]


In some cases it's also useful a related higher order TypeTuple template like
this, kind of the opposite of staticMap:

import std.string: leftJustify, center, rightJustify;
alias U = staticApplyMap!(string, leftJustify, center, rightJustify);
static assert(is(U == TypeTuple!(leftJustify!string, center!string,
rightJustify!string)));

With kind:

staticApplyMap :: * -> [* -> *] -> [*]

So the first argument of staticApplyMap is seen as an item, and the following
ones as templates that accept an argument. It returns a TypeTuple of all the
templates applied on the first given item.
