template tuple(T...);
tuple!(int, 35);

Is there any way to safely tell if a tuple argument is a type or a constant
without getting an error from the compiler?

If you use std.typetraits, there is a metafunction isExpressionTuple().  If 
that returns true, then it's constants; otherwise, it's, well, I guess any 
mix of types and expressions.  But hopefully just types.  (this is kind of 
an ugly thing with tuples, no?)
