get from tuple by type

[Charles Cooper via Digitalmars-d-learn]

True. If I had to do something involving such an API I would 
first wrap the API with a type safe one before doing anything 
else.

void external_api_do_something(uint dollars, uint cents);
/* I think this could somehow be automated with staticMap and 
ParameterTypeTuple / ParameterIdentifierTuple */
alias dollars_t = Typedef!(uint, uint.init, "dollars");
alias cents_t = Typedef!(uint, uint.init, "cents");

void internal_api_do_something(dollars_t, cents_t);
