Context: param pack passing over (not even an obscure rule of expansion) when calling templated method of a templated class from a templated function, all of the above involving non-type variadic params.
Q1: What is the syntax that will allow the following code to compile (and, hopefully, work as intended)?
Q2: what would you recommend me to read to get a better grok of this [expletive deleted] pack expansion. (Alexandrescu's variadic are funadic goes only that much and cppreference didn't help me a bit with this. Yeah, I know, the risk of nothing helping me is actual)

gcc 5.4.1 on linux (ubuntu) with --std=c++11 spits the following errs:

godbold for the entire code - as non-compilable as it is (only the 2 errs above, don't worry)
