Even without language-level tuples per-se, you can accomplish similar
effects with regular tuples:

template<typename ...Args1, typename ...Args2>
void func(std::tuple<Args1...> args1, std::tuple<Args2...> args2);

Perfect forwarding doesn't exactly work here, but with generalized
pack declaration and usage (P1858), using `args1` and `args2` will be
almost as simple as using a parameter pack itself.
