Anyway I find that when using tuples heavily it is actually better to define classes/structs for your data, as using t.get<idxHostname>() all the time is no better than t.hostname, and also not clearer.
This has been my experience too - that the get<N>() notation tends to obscure, and
effectively introduce another unnecessary level of indirection. As I understand
it, what tuples offer is that they're a building block for type sequences, which enable
them to be handled generically, ie become the foundation for Boost.Fusion.
