Consider:

    template <class... T>
    void f(T..., int, T...) { }

    int main() {
       f(0);          // OK
       f<int>(0,0,0); // OK
       f(0,0,0);      // error
    }

It seems clear that the third call is ill-formed because by the time we get to the second function parameter pack we've already assumed that T is empty, so deducing anything for T would be nonsensical. But I don't think this is expressed anywhere in the standard.

One way to handle this would be to say that a template parameter pack is not deducible if it is used in a function parameter pack not at the end of the parameter list.
