Hi, thanks for the link...I wasn't aware of this side-development...
In any case, I'd certainly want variadic template support. However, 
considering that my knowledge of the subject is mostly purely informational 
and that, for such a low level library, supporting old(er) and/or deficient, 
but still used, compilers is a higher priority this will have to 
wait...probably until MSVC++ finally implements variadic templates...

But if you or someone else is willing to join/help they are more than 
welcome...
