Thanks for all the replies. Variadic templates look _very_ exciting. 
When I saw in pre-Berlin evolution state that it in thte "Not ready for 
C++0x, but encourage work to continue" work, I was very disappointed. 
But now that after Berlin the state has improved and with the prototype 
compiler, I hope we can get it into C++0x.

Thanks,
