Suppose you want to have something like variadic templates (the ability to define n type parameters for a generic class) in Scala.

For example you do not want to define Tuple2[+T1, +T2] and Tuple3[+T1, +T2, +T3] but Tuple[T*].

Are there other options than HLists?

I'm hashing a file with one or more hash algorithms. When I tried to parametrize which hash types I want, it got a lot messier than I was hoping. I think I'm missing a chance to make better use of generics or LINQ. I also don't like that I have to use a Type[] as the parameter instead of limiting… >>> More
