Sorry, I must have missed it!

I think a good term is "alias sequence" because AliasSeq in std.meta
comprises exactly those. Generally relating this to stuff and terms in
the language spec and stdlib docs would be great.

So should I drop the language 'tuple' entirely? D doesn't actually propose to have tuples, I guess that's just the colloquial name for alias sequences.
