          Issue ID: 22672
           Summary: Allow casting from TypeTuple to TypeTuple
           Product: D
           Version: D2
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement

Currently DMD does not allow casting to TypeTuple even if they
are the same type is.

---
alias Tuple(T...) = T;

void foo()
{
    Tuple!(int, int) tup;
    cast(Tuple!(int, int)) tup; // Error: cannot cast `tuple(__tup_field_0,
__tup_field_1)` to tuple type `(int, int)`
}
---

This is a bit odd, so I think it would be better it only allows it in certain
case.
