Naming is difficult, but "list" and "pack" (alluding to 
unpacking) are the most accurate terms.

But you need a general term that covers both types and 
values/expressions... I don't know of one. "alias" is not an 
abstraction but more like an action that binds something. Maybe 
something like "mixed"…

Just "Pack" would be confusing... Sounds like a verb and I 
wouldn't understand it without looking it up in the docs. You 
need a word before "pack".

These I would be able to infer from context:

"MixedList"
"CompileTimeList"
"CTList"
"AliasList"
"AliasPack"
"ParamPack"
"ArgPack"
"Parameters"
"Arguments"

Yes, if C++ integration is going to big thing for D, it sounds 
reasonable to use similar terminology. Searching on 
cppreference.com is useful.
