However, using variadic templates may cause a slowdown in the compile times. IIRC, a variadic template version of proto was developed but was abandoned in favor of using:

because of large compile times.
Hm.
This is really sad if variadic templates can't be used for the thing they were created for. Is this an inherent problem for large-scale use of variadic templates?
I guess some of my confusion comes from reading http://www.jot.fm/issues/issue_2008_02/article2.pdf some time ago. I think this article is why I thought they were a bonus for compilation time. It probably only affects the parsing time. -Thorsten
