While independant of this change, I believe Boost.Assign may be ideally suited to use variadic templates. I am already making use of a variadic push_back and container construction, like:

push_back(v,1,2,3,4);

and:

make<std::vector>(1,2,3,4,5); // Makes a std::vector<int> containing 1,2,3,4,5
make_list(1,2,3,4,5); // Makes a list which can be assigned to any standard container, filling it with 1,2,3,4,5.

I do not know if it would be best for these to be integrated into the existing library, or kept separate.
