I was thinking it would be handy if tuples had a way to access
a field by name at runtime. E.g.:
Tuple!(int, "a", double, "b") t;
string x = condition ? "a" : "b";
double v = t.get!string(x, 3.14);
That would mean that tuple then needs to keep the strings around
- taking up space. That plus the fact that the following code is
equivalent (obviously):
Tuple!(int, "a", double, "b") t;
double v = condition ? t.a : t.b;
Why this addition? What does it enable?
