I don't know ... since we're still using ::T for classy things, I'd
kind of like to see something with a : in it. I also get the feeling
that these are type/class placeholders, so I wouldn't mind a ^ either.
Here are some suggestions:

        :$T
        :^T
        ^^T
        :&T
        $::T
        $:T     
        [T]     # these next 3 don't evoke "variable" as much as 
        <T>     # parametric type (ala C++)
        (T)

And yes, I know several of those are already "taken".  I'm suggesting
that we at least think about reassigning them.
