Very nice work. Definitely variadic templates are very interesting.

I see that you have chosen the "core" set of the previous paper menu. 
You have discarded other more advanced features like "pairwise 
expansion"? This feature was _very_ interesting to implement perfect 
forwarding and in-place constructors. First-class parameter packs were 
also a huge compile-time improvement, because recursiveness approach is 
quite inefficient comparing it to macro/first class approach. So the 
question is, are "advanced" features discarded for C++0x or you are just 
preparing them for a future paper?
