> I don't have a source, but I have read that the reason this wasn't originally introduced into C++ was because they couldn't agree on what the syntax would be I can totally imagine that. That's double ironic because the syntax is pretty obvious (which I find pretty surprising for a new C++ feature :) But yeah, it's amazing that we only get this 15 years(!) after the introduction of variadic templates. I can totally see why some languages would decide against ISO standardization.
