Re: [Boost-users] tuple type question

why not simple derive:

struct Test : boost::tuple { enum Members { NAME, VALUE }; };

Than you have the tuple calling syntax:

getTest::Name( ... )

That's what I use for reading and writing "named" tuples.

How useful have people found this technique? I started using tuples for simple data structures and did such a thing. I found that it added more syntatic complexity than was of benefit; that simply creating a data store class/POD was the easier, clearer method.
