Could you add more details here?
What is current official position? Updating typelist.d and
merging with typetuple.d? Keeping current one and rewriting some
algorithms from typelist to work with current TypeTuple?
My point is exactly that it is not that much important how such
library looks like, but it is only good if included in std lib.
Too minor to keep as separate library, too generic to copy-paste
needed in every project required. It is best to just "have it
here" when you notice that some neat tuple trick can beautify
this minor part of your code.
I'd gladly to do any stuff that needs to be done to include this
functionality in Phobos. What are my best options?
You might want to take a look at std.typelist:
https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/phobos/blob/master/std/typelist.d
It's a rather old module which is not actually included in the
Phobos build
right now (I guess that it never quite made it in, and I'm not
quite sure what
we're going to do with it). It probably does some of the sort
of stuff that
you're looking for, though it takes a very different approach.
If it were to be
fully included as part of Phobos, it would need some updating
(e.g. fixing how
it names its symbols, since it doesn't always follow Phobos'
naming
conventions correctly), but it's probably worth your time to
look at it if
you're really looking to manipulate TypeTuples with algorithms.
