No problem... I've had lots to keep my busy in the meantime :) I'm not
enturely sure what to work on from here. I've been thinking about revisit
the parsing and look at improving ICE parsing for default non-type
parameters and the '>>' problem.

I wasn't entirely thrilled with the solution either.

I'm going to have to spend a weekend relearning the code base - I haven't
looked at it since I submitted that last patch. It's too bad I don't have
another Christmas break coming up soon.

On a side note, I am now a big fan of variadic templates.
