A simple yet weird workaround (and basically equivalent to our helper function) is to wrap the argument tuple itself into std::forward<Args> -- which has the effect of exposing RValue references to the forwarding function, thus silencing the compiler. I am not happy with this result, since it contradicts the notion of perfect forwarding. As an asside, the ressearch has sorted out some secondary suspicions.. - it is *not* the Varargs argument pack as such - it is *not* the VerbToken type as such The problem clearly is related to exposing tuple elements to a forwarding function.

|
* Research how to apply a tuple to a varargs function forwarder.
|
|
* The recent standard library has a std::apply, which we can not yet use, unfortunately.
|
|
* @note this research remains inconclusive. As far as I can see, the simplified setup
|
|
* exactly mimics the problematic call situation; however, in the real use case,
|
|
* we need to std::forward<Args> the argument tuple object field while here in
|
|
* this simplified case, it compiles just fine without -- as it should after all,
|
|
* since that is the whole point of perfect forwarding; std::get should expose
|
|
* a LValue reference to the tuple element, and we pass that through a forwarding
|
|
* function into the double dispatch to the receiving visitor.
