Why should they? Why cant a tuple hold aliases? That's
essentially what AliasSeq is isnt it?
I mean you shouldn't have to use arrays at run time and then
entitylist at compile time, just because its holding something CT
only. An array is an array.
Maybe Im being naive or idealistic though.
That's 1st-class-types talk ;)
It would be great if D had first-class types. Stefan has ideas how to move in that direction, but my feeling has been that leadership is generally against it.
