           Summary: Conversion from Tuple with named fields to Tuple
                    without named fields should work during compilation

Refer to
https://github.com/dlang/phobos/commit/8becc70da790826bccec734d40021dd7ff22f485.

Currently we implement the correct subtyping by means of a cast, which does not
work during compilation.

A better implementation would be to have the Tuple with named fields use the
Tuple with no named fields as its only member variable; then, "alias this"
needs to simply return a reference to that member.
