It's basically just __VA_ARGS__ on steroids, thus 'Arguments'
is good, there's precedence in C(Args).
LOL. Then what about when you use it for _parameters_ rather than
arguments? Or when you use it areas that have _nothing_ to do
with functions - e.g.
foreach(S; TypeTuple!(string, char[], wstring, dstring))
{
//...
}
Naming it Arguments gives the impression that it's specifically
related to arguments, and that's just one small area that it gets
used in. And that's part of what's so hard about naming it. It
just does way too many things to name easily.
