Why is this? It's counterintuitive.

Oops, no. mangleof does report the mangled name of the input string. 
It's just that mangleof(i) == i, so my testing incorrectly reported the 
right result.

Now I need to find a CTFE-able demangle. I think ddl has one.

Okay, no, this example is a shorter version of something else that 
exemplified this behavior:
foreach (i, field; Foo.init.tupleof)
    pragma (msg, field.stringof);

This has the results I described. However, the following has the 
expected result:
pragma (msg, Foo.init.tupleof[0].stringof);
