There's an inordinate amount of confusion around what we currently call 
"type tuple" (embodied in std's TypeTuple). I've been furious 
immediately as I got word that Walter called it that way, and it hasn't 
failed to make everybody else feel the same over the years.

So: shall we use "template pack" going forward exclusively whenever we 
refer to that stuff? That way we can unambiguously use "tuple" for 
"value tuples, i.e. like mini-structs that group values together".

Destroy. I mean criticize.
