Yes, there's a DIP to rename std.typetuple to std.meta.list. I made a 
pull to do that (which goes further than the DIP), but I don't know if 
the deprecation/disruption will be acceptable. If not, perhaps we could 
just add a better named alias for TypeTuple (e.g. MetaTuple) but keep 
the same module name. I don't think the status quo is really acceptable.

(In fact, I don't agree with removing deprecated symbols unless they are 
actually buggy - this is what GTK does. If we kept them there would be 
less friction and less cause not to deprecate things which are problematic).
