Small update, as of right now, there has been 45 responses to
the survey, with AliasTuple in the lead.
Top 3 average rankings:
AliasTuple 3.16
Aliases 2.82
AliasList 2.76
Whatever it means, the answers there don't seem to jive with
the thread discussing it. In particular, AliasTuple probably
has the strongest reaction against it out of any of the choices
which have been seriously considered, based principly on all of
the problems that we've had in explaining to people what on
earth a TypeTuple is. The fact that Tuple is in the name has
caused quite a few problems. So, seeing it on the top is a bit
surprising. Though I wonder how many of the participants in the
thread have responded to that, since many seem to just be sick
of the discussion. More folks have responded to the survey
though than have participated in the thread though.

I suspect that many people, myself included, didn't have anything
meaningful to add to the thread but still voted. Personally I
didn't post because I didn't have a better idea for a name and I
thought the proposed ones were all suboptimal.
