Whatever it means, the answers there don't seem to jive with the 
thread discussing it. In particular, AliasTuple probably has the 
strongest reaction against it out of any of the choices which 
have been seriously considered, based principly on all of the 
problems that we've had in explaining to people what on earth a 
TypeTuple is. The fact that Tuple is in the name has caused quite 
a few problems. So, seeing it on the top is a bit surprising. 
Though I wonder how many of the participants in the thread have 
responded to that, since many seem to just be sick of the 
discussion. More folks have responded to the survey though than 
have participated in the thread though.
