Which pack expansion in this example does not use an ellipsis?
There are two pack expansions here: `...xs=args` where the pattern is
`xs=args`, and also in `bar(xs...)`, `xs...` is a pack expansion. Both use
an ellipsis.
The `sizeof...` operator also contains an ellipsis. It just happens that
the ellipsis is not adjacent to the pack.
