 * Templates to manipulate

 * (also known as $(I alias sequences)).
 *
 * Some operations on alias sequences are built into the language,
 * such as `S[i]`, which accesses the element at index `i` in the
 * sequence. `S[low .. high]` returns a new alias
 * sequence that is a slice of the old one.
 *
 * For more information, see $(DDLINK ctarguments, Compile-time Sequences, Compile-time Sequences).
 *
 * $(B Note:) Several templates in this module use or operate on eponymous templates that
 * take a single argument and evaluate to a boolean constant. Such templates
 * are referred to as $(I template predicates).
