Well, it says less about what it is than something like AliasList
or AliasTuple would, but it also runs afoul of the same problem
that std.container.Array does. It's using the same name as
something else that's commonly talked about but means something
quite different (even if it's related). When folks talk about
aliases right now, they do _not_ mean Aliases. They're talking
about stuff like
alias foo = bar;
And renaming TypeTuple to Aliases is just going to increase
confusion.
