In a general sense, I consider treating variadic content as a data structure as going in the wrong direction.
My goal is only to allow programmers to specify using variadic macros and then provide the means to convert that sequence to/from pp-lib data types. I have also provided the means to access any individual variadic token from the sequence as well as its length, but that hardly means "treating variadic content as a data structure" to me. As an additional convenience, and because of variadic macros, I also mimicked pp-lib tuple functionality without the need to pass the length of a tuple directly. My goal is simple usability of variadic data in connection with pp-lib.
I was merely expressing my thoughts related to the use of variadics in an overall sense, not whether something that converts __VA_ARGS__ to some other form is useful. The interface to your library is small enough that you could just add it to the pp-lib.
I would personally find this addition to the pp-lib useful. -- Lorenzo
