Delete typelist.d

[ghost]

In #3238, @Dicebot told that it will be removed but it's still there (2.068).

@WalterBright has prohibited removing it

[ghost]

I've proposed him to put it in undeaD

AFAIK, it was never even compiled into Phobos. It's been in the repo but not in the makefiles. I don't see any reason why it would make any sense to keep it around. I don't see how any code could be using it.

@jmdavis So we should merge this then? Nothing in dmd/druntime/phobos references it, right?

[mihails-strasuns]

It was already merged once. Walter demanded it to be reverted and stay forever. Convince him first.

[jmdavis]

@quickfur If anything in Phobos ever referenced it, it was years ago. When I first learned about std.typelist, it was not in the Makefile, and it hasn't been since. I should have just deleted it then, but I wasn't that smart apparently. But if the repo history shows that std.typelist was never part of the Makefile, then it should be easy to convince Walter that it should just be deleted. That does require digging through the repo history though, which is likely to be a bit tedious.

It's a header-only meta module. Thing is I don't think anybody used it even back in 2007-2009, as the module was an experiment

the module that was intended to replace typelist is itself now renamed and deprecated.
std.typelist -> std.typetuple -> std.meta
You're not so punctilious with std.streams. By the way, it should be visible in the thread but since the beginning of this absurd discussion the move to undead is proposed:
