Recursive metaphony using variable patterns

I am writing a meta function replace_type<C, X, Y>that should replace all type matches Xin a composite type Cwith Y. I am currently working on making this work correctly with callables in C.

It works:

template replace_type<
    typename C, typename X, typename Y,
    typename First
>
struct replace_type<C(First), X, Y>
{
    typedef typename replace_type<
        C, X, Y
    >::type type(
        typename replace_type<
            First, X, Y
        >::type
    );
};

template replace_type<
    typename C, typename X, typename Y,
    typename First, typename Second
>
struct replace_type<C(First, Second), X, Y>
{
    typedef typename replace_type<
        C, X, Y
    >::type type(
        typename replace_type<
            First, X, Y
        >::type,
        typename replace_type<
            Second, X, Y
        >::type
    );
};

But this is obviously very limited. It was obvious in my head that I should use a variation pattern instead, but when I really tried to apply it, I quickly noticed that I had no idea how to put it in this diagram.

I thought of its implementation as follows:

template replace_type<
    typename C, typename X, typename Y,
    typename First, typename... Args
>
struct replace_type<C(First, Args...), X, Y>
{
    typedef typename replace_type<
        C, X, Y
    >::type type(
        typename replace_type<
            First, X, Y
        >::type,
        // How to recursively do the same with the rest of the arguments?
    );
};
