Can we add alias for `auto-expansion TypeTuple` and add link

previous documentation like this:
alias ExpandedTemplateArgumentList(T) =

It looks like it can fix all objections here.
What is this supposed to give over just using .expand
directly? I have
not seen a good rationale that justifies it among existing
objections,
probably have missed it.
I also think that implicit expansion should not be frequent
enough to justify its own abstraction.

The thing is that you can build non expanding tuples on top of
expanding ones, not the other way around. So I think the language
should have buitin expanding tuples (and renamed something else
than tuple).
