Sorry about this, it has stalled because it is really hard to
work outside the actual std.typecons. As I started digging into
issues with wrapping range interfaces, I started needing more and
more private methods, basically copying in all of typcons.
Then it got worse, some of the methods needed a change in how
they interpreted the type. These changes may make sense for the
original or maybe not, either way maintaining this second concept
while expecting a need to merge back into std.typecons became a
mental roadblock on how to manage it all.
I'm probably in a better mental state now and could push for
changes in std.typecons, but in the meantime I got married with
children and don't really do hobby programming (at least not with
the multi-day mental concentration this would require).
