| Sure you can.  That's only 16 overloads.  Use the preprocessor.

AFAICT, up to 5 arguments would give 32 + 16 + 8 + 4 + 2 = 62
overloads.

That's a lot of code to parse in a header. How much will this affect 
compilation time? Given that the usage is minimal
in the boost.assign I'm not so keen about doing this currently.
