I assume the rationale is that the thing you get is literally the 
arguments to the template.

alias Asdf(T...)=T;

Asdf!(string,char[],wstring,dstring)
      ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
      Arguments

It's the identity function on template argument lists. This is needed 
because those do not have their own syntax.
