There are a lot of good names for it: Template Pack, Type 
Sequence, Template Argument List, Type List, etc. I think I like 
Type Sequence the best but any will do.  All that really matters 
is getting Tuple out of the name to clear up the confusion.

http://dlang.org/tuple.html is so confusing to anyone who has 
used tuples in other languages.  It doesn't even mention 
typecons' Tuples which is what anyone who would click on that 
link would be looking for.

It also might be a good time to clear some things up about them 
in the spec (and possibly implementation).  Timon's link to
http://wiki.dlang.org/The_D_Programming_Language/Seq shows some 
areas where they are inconsistent or confusing.
