LOL. Then what about when you use it for _parameters_ rather than 
arguments? Or when you use it areas that have _nothing_ to do 
with functions - e.g.

foreach(S; TypeTuple!(string, char[], wstring, dstring))
{
     //...
}

Naming it Arguments gives the impression that it's specifically 
related to arguments, and that's just one small area that it gets 
used in. And that's part of what's so hard about naming it. It 
just does way too many things to name easily.
