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.

Not going to say if it is good or bad proposal, but your comment
is not strictly relevant - template arguments are also arguments
in D. It is exactly the term dlang.org grammar spec uses.
