Well, I was bored so I put together a simple compressed_tuple anyway as an example of how it could be implemented fairly elegantly and account for a large number of elements. Right now it's set to work with up to 10 elements, but that can be adjusted by modifying the #define at the top. The difference from compressed pair is that storage is not shared if two types are used that are the same empty type. A get member function template is supported, but not a non-member version, though one could be easily added.

Ouch! Are you sure you wouldn't rather use file iteration for that? http://boost-consulting.com/mplbook/preprocessor.html#file-iteration -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com
