Yes, and your improved version (which removes cv-qualifiers) is the  
right way to go.

It was an oversight. As you know, just adding the following will fix  
this error:

> template<typename _Res, typename... _ArgTypes>
>    struct _Weak_result_type_impl<_Res(_ArgTypes......)>

Sure, you can put a comma between the two ellipses, but it's much  
more amusing to type six periods in a row :)
