Proposed resolution (December, 2018):
Change 9.5 [dcl.fct.def] paragraph 4 as follows:
Otherwise, if the qualified-id std::tuple_size<E> names a complete class type with a member value, the expression std::tuple_size<E>::value shall be a well-formed integral constant expression and the number of elements in the identifier-list shall be equal to the value of that expression...
[Accepted as a DR at the February, 2019 meeting.]
According to 9.6 [dcl.struct.bind] paragraph 4,
Otherwise, if the qualified-id std::tuple_size<E> names a complete type, the expression std::tuple_size<E>::value shall be a well-formed integral constant expression and the number of elements in the identifier-list shall be equal to the value of that expression.
However, the common idiom in the library is that SFINAE tests the presence or absence of a value member rather than the completeness of the class; see 22.4.7 [tuple.helper] paragraph 4. The core language requirement should be changed to match the common library practice.
