std.typecons still has DDOC comments but is hidden from the
public documentation (except a note on AliasSeq which we should
probably be removed).
But I don't see much value in deprecating/removing TypeTuple
because it's implementation just forwards to AliasSeq anyway and
hence does not require maintenance/bugfixes.
