Yes. And has nothing to do with actual list behavior.

Unfortunately not right now. Not cleanly at least. I am working 
on it.

It is irrelevant topic. I think TemplateArgumentList and 
TemplateArgumentPack are a good names.

Nope. We lack lot of syntactic sugar for packs. All we have is 
for expanding built-in ones.

Auto-unpacking and all similar extra yummies is completely 
orthogonal and unrelated topic I don't even want to touch.

It is simply unrelated and can be added on top of any outcome.
