What happened? Why are we replacing a crappy term with another
crappy term?
Here's my interpretation of the current state of this as I read
this thread
1. "AliasSeq" is no good as evident from the first post that
started this thread
2. "AliasList" draws veto from decision makers due to list
semantics in C++
3. "AliasTuple" draws both support and disdain, but at least
there's some support. Also, I volunteered to wordsmith the
documentation on this, and I found myself a little dumbstruck
yesterday trying to explain it.
4. "AliasSplat" uses a frivolous and slang term for the
asterisk operator so is hard to take seriously, and like the
other suggestions will require explanation.
5. "Arguments" isn't bad IMO, but it seems to draw disdain due
to the fact that the construct in question may or may not be
used for template arguments.
You forgot "Aliases", which also was suggested.
