Because we don't have strict definition of alias too? :)

Actually, I have forgot again that built-in tuples are not always 
compile-time. They can be used to declare run-time entities with 
tuple syntax too, that was exactly what was abused in 
std.typecons.Tuple implementation.

As I have already said, it is hard to name something that does 
not have clear semantics and is essentially just random 
collection of behavior.
