Part of the core problem is that it can be used for either 
parameters or arguments - or it can simply be used in certain 
places as a compile-time entity separately from functions are 
templates (e.g. foreach). So, names like ParamList or ArgList 
come to mind, but they all have the problem of covering only one 
of the cases (just like TypeTuple has the problem of only 
covering the case where it has types in it when in fact it can 
have values in it as well as containing both at the same time). I 
don't think that I've ever seen a _good_ name for what TypeTuple 
represents. I really wish that we'd stop using the word tuple in 
regards to them though, since they _aren't_ tuples. But 
unfortunately, that's how the language spec refers to them...

IIRC, Adam Ruppe defined them as being a CTList in his dconf talk 
(presumably for compile-time list). That seems like one of the 
better names that I've seen, and I'd certainly be up for that.
