Template arguments are indexable, so "sequence" doesn't quite apply.

Hmm, fair enough. Sequential as opposed to associative.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sequence_container_(C%2B%2B) also comes to
mind.
Then, at least let's use the whole darn word. Doesn't seem like the
short form is helping a lot here.
I believe Seq is quite fitting as the venerable TypeTuple was used
frequently enough to benefit from shorter form IMHO.
Scala's Seq[T] is a sequential container (pretty much anything
array-like), so there is precedent.
