I have the following code, in which I would like to try and 
simplify tUnrollArgs which I find to be a mess because of all the 
redundant code in it(having a static ternary if would definitely 
simplify things. (the tIf would help if I could "box" the args in 
an array easily so I could allow for a false statement too).

In any case, I am trying to get the tUnrollArgs2 working using 
the tForEach. This can simplify it a great deal. The problem is 
that the lambda expression must change for each argument passed 
to be able to handle arrays.

That is, I need to be able to call tForEach like

tForEach!((isAny!(args) x) { ... }, args);

where isAny is sort of a compound type of all the types used in 
args.

That is, so I can handle T and T[]. (right now I'm just using the 
type of the first argument, which is not always correct)

Any ideas how I can solve this problem?
