Some obvious catches:

http://ddili.org/ders/d.en/tuples.html : `S.tupleof[i].stringof` 
value was recently changed.

`object.tupleof` part does not mention important fact that tuple 
does not contain values of object members but actual members as 
if it is a reference.

There are few imprecise wordings but I am afraid being 100% 
precise when speaking about tuples will result in "WTF, what dark 
magic this is?" :(

http://ddili.org/ders/d.en/templates_more.html : "The following 
code instantiates the template for int and dchar" - `double` is 
actually used in snippet instead of dchar.

Variadic template arg chapter should probably mention "variadic 
args of length 1" idiom used to have parameter accepting types, 
values and aliases at once.
