I'd like to find the overload of some function with the most 
parameters and (in this specific case) to get their identifiers 
using e.g. ParameterIdentifierTuple. There have also been cases 
where I'd have liked to iterate over the result of 
Parameters!func for each overload of that function. Can this be 
done, and if so how?

Yes this can be done, you must use the getOverload trait:

https://dlang.org/spec/traits.html#getOverloads

The result of this trait is the function itself so it's not hard 
to use, e.g the result can be passed directly to 'Parameters', 
'ReturnType' and such library traits.
