"expose" sounds like it is taking something hidden or private and 
exposing it to the public. It doesn't give any hint that it takes the 
name T and uses it as an argument to Typevar. I would take it as 
meaning:

take the (possibly internal or private) thing Typevar, and bind it to 
the name T

with no hint that Typevar was being called.
