for typetuple, operator[] is a "static" operator: The index *must* be known at
compile time, as the return type depends on the parameter. It's actually
different overloads for each different index:

EG:

auto a = tuple('a', 5, 2.2);
char c = a[0]; //Calls the first arg
int i = a[1]; //Calls the second arg
double d = a[2]; //Calls the last arg

Because of this putting an operator[] inside a for loop is not possible, as you
are basically trying to solve overloads dynamically, which is not possible in a
static language like D.

What could be a workaround for you is the static foreach construct:

void main(){
  import std.typecons, std.typetuple;
  auto a=tuple(0,1,2);
  a[0]=0;//OK
  foreach(I;TypeTuple!(0, 1, 2))
    a[I]=0;//Error: no [] operator overload for type Tuple!(int, int, int)}
}

What this does is generate a "type sequence", which contains the "Types" (or in
this case, value parameters) 1, 2 and 3.

Now, the foreach is statically iterating over the parameters, generating a
*unique* body for each loop index. Notice that this time, I used the name "I"
this denotes that this argument is actually statically known inside the body of
the loop.

Closing as invalid.
