Strange `tuple used as a type` error if using: template tuple parameter + named
argument of its type + an constraint.
---
void f(int n)(int) { }
void f(U...)(U)    { } // ok
void f(U...)(U a)  { } // ok
void f(U...)(U)   if(true) { } // ok
void f(U...)(U a) if(true) { } // Error: tuple U is used as a type

void main() { f!0(0); }

Isn't this the correct behavior? -- U = 0 is not an type.

By the precedence of overload resolution, DMD does not instantiate some of the
template function overloads and semantic errors are not reported for them.
If you define each template function alone, DMD(v2.056head) reports a "used as
a type" error for it.

dmd 2.056 now prints same error for both tuple templates with an constraint (so
this bug is at least more consistent now).
P.S.
This is the full test code, I don't propose to define any function alone.
