The tuple page is even confusing me
http://dlang.org/tuple.html
A variable declared with a TypeTuple becomes an
ExpressionTuple:
alias TL = Tuple!(int, long);
is it using Tuple!(T...) and TypeTuple!(T...) interchangeably?
Almost.
`Tuple` is defined at the top of the article as `template
Tuple(E...) {alias Tuple = E;}`.
"TypeTuple" is later defined as a `Tuple` whose elements
"elements are solely types".
So, in the context of the article, `Tuple!(int, long)` is a
"TypeTuple", because it's a `Tuple` of types.
The article does not refer to `std.typecons.Tuple` or
`std.typetuple.TypeTuple` at all. Specifically, the article's
`Tuple` is not `std.typecons.Tuple`. And the article's
"TypeTuple" is not `std.typetuple.TypeTuple`. However, going
for bonus confusion points, the article's `Tuple` is defined
the same as `std.typetuple.TypeTuple`.
That's... really confusing and probably needs a rewrite
honestly.
Yep.
