For me it was absolutely clear that picking a good name is 
impossible even through the previous discussion (~1 year ago) 
because existing semantics is a mess and breaking it is out of 
question. Thus more realistic criteria is name consistency with 
some bit of fact correctness.

This was how original (Meta)List was chosen - being as bad as any 
other, it matched terms used by official compiler spec : 
http://dlang.org/template.html#TemplateParameterList 
http://dlang.org/template.html#TemplateArgumentList (and related 
docs)

It is mostly irrelevant though (as long as it is not 
fundamentally misleading) - the whole issue is not about picking 
a single name but major cleanup sweeps through dlang.org and 
Phobos ensuring it is all on same terms and any possible 
abmiguity is clearly explained.
