/* Suppose you have a template of the form
 * template<typename T> struct X;
 * And you want to specialize it in such a way:
 *    template<typename S1, typename... SN> struct X<Foo<S1, SN...>> { ::: };
 *    template<>                            struct X<Foo<>>          { ::: };
 * This will work in Intel's compiler 13.0, but only to some extent in g++ 4.6, since
 * g++ can only match templates called with parameter packs if the number of template
 * arguments is not a fixed size (so inside the first specialization, referencing
 * X<Foo<Sn...>> will fail in g++). On the other hand, g++ will accept the following:
 *    template<typename S...> struct X<Foo<S...>> { ::: }:
 * as an additional (!) specialization, which will then only match the empty case.
 * But Intel's compiler 13.0 won't accept that, it will only accept the empty syntax,
 * so we have to create a workaround for this.
