  /**
   * @brief Returns a provider pack with providers from specified services
   * @tparam Services the services to extract the providers from
   * @return a ProviderPack containing the current service providers
   *
   * This convenience function automatically extracts all the service providers
   * from a list of services.
   * This is convenient if an algorithm or service accepts a provider pack
   * for setup:
   *     
   *     algo->Setup(extractProviders<
   *       detinfo::DetectorPropertiesService, detinfo::GArPropertiesService
   *       >());
   *     
   * Also note that the provider packs can rearrange their elements, so the call
   * above should work just the same as:
   *     
   *     algo->Setup(extractProviders<
   *       detinfo::GArPropertiesService, detinfo::DetectorPropertiesService
   *       >());
   *     
   * If a provider is needed in the setup argument that is not provided by any
   * of the specified services, a compilation error will occur.
