David, Joel:

Do you have any plans for using this in not-to-distant future
versions of MPL and FUSION, obviously with preprocessor
dispatching on the __VARIADIC_TEMPLATES mentioned in:

   http://www.osl.iu.edu/~dgregor/cpp/variadic-templates.html

?  If not, I could attempt it; however, I'm sure you, being
the library authors, would do a better job.  For example,
I just glanced at mpl/reverse_fold.hpp and saw the need to
look at aux_/na_spec.hpp to see if it's needed with
_VARIADIC_TEMPLATES; however, the answer wasn't obvious at first
glance :(
