The big problem with your code is that is doesn't properly terminate
the recursion at instantiation time. It's easy to fix that, but I
recommend you to hear the general feeling here among developers before
making changes. With such modifications the code is even more complex
than the original compiler-killer version ;-)

Frankly I wrote it just for fun. I suppose it's not considered that
useful.
