Yeah. Arguably going with a weirder name has the advantage of 
making it so that you're less likely to assume that you 
understand it when you see it (since if you haven't studied up on 
it, you _don't_ understand it), whereas the other terms - 
especially Tuple - tend to make folks assume that they understand 
it when they really don't. No one understands 
TypeTuples/AliasSeqs without studying up on them. They're just 
too unique.
