[boost] Is there any interest in tagged tuple?

27 Jun 2005

      Hi all,

Is there any interest in tagged tuple as extension of tuples library or fusion 
library?
The example:

struct name_t {}; //tagged types
struct year_t {};

void foo()
{
     tagged_tuple<std::string, name_t, int, year_t> s;

     s.get<name_t>() = "Hello World"!;
     s.get<year_t>()   = 2005;
     assert(s.get<0>() == s.get<name_t>());
     assert(s.get<1>() == s.get<year_t>());
}

It already works in VC7.1 and VC8.0 :)

What do you think?
