With DMD 2.059, type tuples cannot be sliced with [] in all (?) locations where a type would be valid. For example: template TypeTuple(T...){ alias T TypeTuple; } TypeTuple!(int,int)[] x; // error: cannot have array of (int, int) The code should compile. '[]' needs to be consistently interpreted as the slice operator if it operates on a tuple.
