AFAICT, up to 5 arguments would give 32 + 16 + 8 + 4 + 2 = 62 overloads.
You're right; what was I thinking?
That's a lot of code to parse in a header. How much will this affect compilation time?
Not much, based on what I've seen in the past, but you'll never know until you try it.
Given that the usage is minimal in the boost.assign I'm not so keen about doing this currently.
