Where is TypeTuple! defined?

Yep, that's a std.typecons.Tuple.

A "Walter Tuple" is a list of arbitrary values and types, for example
( int, float, 42, "hello" ).

An "Andrei Tuple" is an ordered, fixed-sized list of items of fixed
but arbitrary type.

(Andrei also lets you name some or all of the items if you want, so
they don't /have/ to be anonymous, but naming the fields is optional.
Think of that as an extra bonus feature).
