No. It's to make AliasSeq cheap, to remove motivation for making a special
syntactic construct for creating a tuple.

It's still un-fun to type AliasSeq!(), and I've never liked how it reads or looks... but your patch is certainly welcome.
What we really need, is this:
  AliasSeq!(0 .. 10)

We should allow integer `..` range in a tuple to describe an iota. We allow it in foreach statements, it's a sadly missed opportunity for D.
