It was decided the last time that std.typelist was brought up. Basically, 
TypeList doesn't provide enough over TypeTuple to be worth it, and we don't 
want two different abstractions for essentially the same thing.

Well, there may very well be cases that are more work due to the lack of 
TypeList, but it should be possible to make them work with TypeTuple, though 
it could mean adding more functionality to std.typetuple to make it work.
