The code here:

http://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/sandbox/variadic_templates/sandbox/slim/

might be helpful.  It was based on Chrisopher's code but had
to be modified slightly as mentioned in the post:

http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.compilers.clang.devel/24145

which also mentions the slow compile times when not using the
preprocessor.
