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.

You just made the argument for calling it Arguments by arguing
against its name being Arguments.
arguments and parameters are both basically the same thing and so
is the example where you use it as the arguments to a foreach
loop.
Most of the suggestions are too low level, fact is its a Tuple :D
