By the Phobos doc, alignForSize's signature was chosen to be 

    char[] alignForSize(E...)(string[E.length] names); 

because of issue 2029. Now that 2029 is fixed, it should be possible to change
it back to 

    char[] alignForSize(E...)(string[] names...); 



In fact, the given example

    struct Banner {
       mixin(alignForSize!(byte[6], double)(["name", "height"]));
    }

won't even work on the current version of D as the array literal returns a
string[] instead of string[2].
