Isn't it a pity that the first language supporting them hasn't even a section over there ? I invite any expert interested into the task to write the missing D section.

Good idea. I created https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13994 to track this. Any takers? -- Andrei

Yes.
Though it would be nice (but not necessary) to have your input on https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/phobos/pull/2687 first.

Does that do a lot of moving stuff to a separate module? I have to say that after porting a bunch of code from 2.065 to 2.067.1 at work, I'm less keen about renaming stuff than I used to.

Re-reading this, I now see how unclear I was.
I was refering to the ill-naming of TypeTuple. I'm sure you're familiar with the issue of std.tuple.Tuple vs std.typetuple.TypeTuple vs type tuple vs expression tuple.

http://wiki.dlang.org/DIP54#Proposal propose a standard wording, but it's not approved yet. But as I said, I can live without it.

That is partial implementation of typetuple solution you earlier agreed as necessary even if painful. Though I kind of expected you to change your mind over time so now it waits for approval again :)

Thanks. I also have your email in my mailbox - I have 100% response rate at the cost of latency...

Well done, thumb up.
Just in case someone doesn't get the D "thing"...variadic templates is part of the D "thing".
