code like 

struct X(T){
    alias T TT;
}
alias TypeTuple!(int,int, X!string) G;
alias G[2].TT TT; // <-- parse failure

doesn't work. It's just not built in to the D grammar.

Of course, the workaround is simply

alias G[2] G2;
alias G2.TT TT;

Just pasting this here as I've ran into it again:

template test(T, Preds...)
{
    enum bool test = Preds[0]!T;  // error: semicolon expected, not '!'
}

A workaround is to use an alias:

template test(T, Preds...)
{
    alias Pred = Preds[0];
    enum bool test = Pred!T;
}
