I want to point out that statement "an alias tuple can have both
expressions and types" is somewhat between imprecise and just
wrong with current compiler implementation. `X!(42, int, foo)`
doesn't hold aliases to value, type and symbol (assuming X(T...))
- it does hold actual value and type, with only symbol being
aliased. Actual alias tuple would be defined as `X(alias a, alias
b, alias c)` and is somewhat different thing.
You may want to ignore that difference for simplicity sake but it
needs to be explicitly acknowledged.
