There's another reason:

void foo(T)(T, int, float);
void foo(T)(string, T);

Tuple!(int, float) getTuple();

foo("Hello", getTuple()); // What to call?

And:

void baz(T...)(T t);

baz(getTuple()) // Expand or not?


And while this is a constructed example, there is also the matter of
exponential possibilities for the overload system (Oh, so that didn't
work, maybe if I expand *this* tuple? No. *That* tuple? ...)
