If line A is changed to "auto x = foo(1,2);" then the code compiles without incident.  This should compile with one parameter as well.

   import std.typecons;

   template fooRet(T...)
   {
       static if( T.length == 1 )
           alias T fooRet;
       else
           alias Tuple!(T) fooRet;
   }

   fooRet!(T) foo(T...)(T vals)
   {
       Tuple!(T) ret;
       static if( T.length == 1 )
           return ret.field[0];
       else
           return ret;
   }

   void main()
   {
       auto x = foo(1); // A
   }

I don't understand the purpose of your code, but I think the problems are in your code.

Maybe in fooRet you meant to use:
alias T[0] fooRet;

You can also use:
auto foo(T...)(T vals)

"Fixing" this would require conflating a Tuple!(T) with T. I think this would
be a mistake.

You're right, it was a mistake in my code.  Sorry.
