Sample program:

Tuple!(uint,uint) key;
// Tuple!(oid_t,oid_t) key; // Doesn't work

If I use the last tuple instead of the first, I get the following
compiler error with DMD 2.052 in OS X:
/path/to/src/phobos/std/format.d(1579): Error: function
std.format.formatValue!(Appender!(string),oid_t,immutable(char)).formatValue

It seems that std.typecons is using a deprecated formatting API, which
is triggered by my use of a custom type? And ... I guess this would be a
bug? (I looked in the tracker, and couldn't find it there already.)
If you looked and couldn't find it, it doesn't hurt to add it. Worst case
-- it gets marked as a duplicate.
Note that typedef is eventually going to be deprecated. I'd suggest using
alias unless you have a need to force uints not to be castable to oid_t.
