IME variadic templates unfortunately don't work
Yeah, it looks like I've been looking at the CTP from November 2012 - for VS11 [1]. It would be awesome if somebody who has VS11 actually investigated this. Namely, the 11.0 proper should support variadics up to some number of arguments (yes, sounds really daft and hackish). If true, it would be able to cover more than a few use-cases I reckon. > with that one.

Again, seems to be that CTP thingie, damn.
