i get that TypeTuple is confusing as it is not _limited_ to
types, but why is it not a tuple?
Because, among other things, it auto-expands.

I agree that auto-expansion is a bit unexpected (documentation
does not even mention it...). But by that logic it's not a
'Sequence', 'List' or 'Pack' either.
Can't we just call it Unpack!() then?
