What happened? Why are we replacing a crappy term with another
crappy term?
Should just be "Aliases". I recall that my naming of "setExt()"
was universally panned for using an abbreviation. "Aliases"
doesn't carry any baggage about how it might be accessed.
Then you have the confusion about whether you're talking about
the replacement of TypeTuple or just aliases in general -
especially if verbal conversation. AliasSeq won't be confused
with anything.
