Me too. Looking at Amaury's PR, there is still much of the documentation
that refers to TypeTuple. It will be difficult/awkward to change to
"Arguments". e.g.:
Returns an Arguments [instance] created from TList with the first
occurrence, if any, of T removed.
--------
Filters an Arguments [instance] using a template predicate. Returns an
Arguments [instance] of the elements which satisfy the predicate.
I think you are going to have to add "instance" anywhere you are talking
about Arguments. And that "Arguments instance of" reads terrible.
I don't know what the right name is, but I think it should be singular
at least.
