The problem is: you can't go back. Here I use runtime as synonym for
passing pointers/TypeInfo and compiletime for nesting templates:
compiletime -> runtime: simple
compiletime -> compiletime: very simple
runtime -> runtime: simple
runtime -> compiletime: oops
It also generates bloat by requiring a compiletime -> runtime part. Why
do this conversion, if you want to be in runtime anway?
If you want to do "very dynamic" stuff (whatever that is), applying some
trivial fixes to variadic functions seems to be the better way to go.
