Hi, thanks for your patch, and sorry it took me so long to respond.

Thanks, I've now committed a simpler version of this that doesn't even 
bother calling integral_constant_value in templates.

I think a cleaner way to deal with the conversion issue would be to 
instantiate the capture list in instantiate_class_template_1 instead of 
here, so that we can do it in between the members and the conversion op.

Could you adjust the testcase so that it will work in the testsuite?

Thanks,
