Such has been discussed before. std.typecons.Tuple should also have a
reasonably terse name, a virtue I feel ValueTuple does not fulfill.

The problem is that those things contained in a std.typetuple.TypeTuple
are so diverse, and thus hard to put in category. FreeTuple? TupleList?
AnyTuple? AllTuple?

Anyways, I'm off to sleep. Good... Well, I guess it's day to most of you
on the other side of the pond. Good day, then. :p
