Ah, I've got it in the Bind module, called 'getFuncArgsTypes'. A simple 
apply function template is also in the meta package, in its own Apply.d 
file :)

I'm afraid that currently it doesn't handle them at all, since it 
operates on func types, not aliases. Thanks for pointing it out though, 
I'll have to think about adding support for them :)
