You could turn it into a Tuple and use the `expand` method to 
get a TypeTuple (AliasSeq).

import std.typecons;
import std.typetuple;
import std.stdio;

template genTypeList(T, size_t n)
{
        static if (n <= 1)
        {
                alias genTypeList = T;
        }
        else
        {
                alias genTypeList = TypeTuple!(T, genTypeList!(T, n - 1));
        }
}

auto asTuple(T, size_t n)(ref T[n] arr)
{
        return Tuple!(genTypeList!(T, n))(arr);
}

void test(T...)(T xs)
{
        writeln("Length: ", T.length, ", Elements: ", xs);
}

void main()
{
        int[5] a = [0, 1, 2, 3, 4];
	test(a);                    //Length: 1, Elements: [0, 1, 2, 
3, 4]
        test(a.asTuple.expand);     //Length: 5, Elements: 01234
}

Is there a reason why such a common thing isn't already in 
Phobos? If not what about adding it to std.typecons : asTuple
