Is this possible? IOW, are template template parameters recursive?

// Warning - professional driver on closed track
// Do not try this with your car

template <template <template <class> class> class T>
class Weird
{
    ...
};

The Comeau compiler likes it, at least the trivial test above.

I'm curious about your intended use of this?
