The pattern

occurring in roundRobin() and now also in my merge at

https://github.com/nordlow/justd/blob/master/range_ex.d#L604

is nor pretty nor concise.

Is there a better way of indexing a compile time tuple with a run-time index?

It may have to work together with CommonType somehow as is shown in my implementation of merge().

Would this work?

    auto x = std.typecons.tuple(Rs)[_index]
