Agreed. FWIW I'm not all that enthused about std.typelist. D's tuples 
support random access and much of std.typelist hides that away and slaps 
a linked list interface on top of it. If the purpose were to also allow 
other "implementations" of typelists than D's tuples, then great, but 
that wasn't it. As such, std.typelist is little else than an exercise in 
reducing functionality without a corresponding redeeming benefit.
