This actually a pretty good highlight how even simplest 
compile-time facilities can make code much more readable and 
maintainable. If proxying is all it does, using variadic template 
parameters may be even better.

But I tend to agree. I don't see anything inherently wrong with 
Rust syntax here other than lacking (not using?) better meta 
facilities.
