Ok, `__traits(isSame)` always returns false for values.
This is very unfortunate as `std.traits.isSame` is one of the
most used template instances in typical std.meta-programming and
has a noticeable impact on time and space complexity now that
AliasAssign-enabled versions of std.meta members have removed the
need for other costly recursive template patterns.
I suggest we add a new builtin trait that exactly mimics
std.traits.isSame or inline the calls to `isSame` in
`std.traits.meta`. This is gonna significantly speed up functions
in std.meta, for instance `staticIndexOf`, `EraseAll`,
`GenericReplace`, `ReplaceAll`, `Pack`.
