Compile-time template metaprogramming with variadic sequences

This is a hard C++ coding problem that tests whether you can manipulate compile-time type sequences using template specialization and variadic parameter packs. Rather than operating on runtime values, you are working with types themselves — the result must be correct at the point of compilation, verified by static_assert.

The challenge lies in defining a template that strips the first element from a heterogeneous or homogeneous sequence and exposes the remainder as a nested type alias. You'll need to reason about template specialization, parameter pack expansion, and how to reconstruct a sequence without its head element. Edge cases — including an already-empty sequence — must compile without error.
