Yep, entirely something I missed when I did the code. Classic 
"Works For Me!(TM)" moment.

As mentioned by Neia, the thin wrapper would be my preferred way 
of approaching that, at which point your implementation class 
looks like:

class Impl( alias Version, alias Encoding )

There's nothing stopping you doing the proposed std.meta.sort 
either, but that's essentially doubling up on work when you do 
something like what I illustrated.
