Description

We should be able to support simple parameter packs perhaps by making them into java var args?

public func tuplify<each T>(_ xs: repeat each T) {}

May not always work since they're more expressive but worth a shot

Research direction

Start by locating jextract's handling of Swift parameter packs and compare it with the shown tuplify example. Done means determining whether simple packs can be represented as Java varargs, while accounting for cases where parameter packs are more expressive.
