If you try to solve code readability then adding simple enum, even unnamed, solves the problem

enum { name, year }; s.get<name>() I don't like this, because of the following: tuple<double, double> s; enum { width, height }; tuple<double, double> p; enum { apples_weight, bananas_weight }; s.get<width>() = 1.04; double apples_price = s.get<apples_weight>()* 5; (mistake: there should be p instead of s)

If you try to solve an other problem, please describe the problem first. Yeah, sorry, I forgot to mention that explicitly. No just this one.

And second this has been already discussed on the list. Sorry again :) One of the objections was the use case where you have same type occurs more then once in tuple.

tagged_tuple<std::string, name_t, std::string, name_t > s;

s.get<name_t>() - is this operation defined and what it's result With current implemention, such object can not be created...

My rationale for it: tag is like a name, but it to be applied in compile time, and as in case of objects there cannot be two objects(two tuple elements) with the same name. -- Pavel Chikulaev
