Move to NAD. This is an extension after the FCD, without a clear motivation. May consider as NAD Future if motivating examples come forward.

Move to Open. Alisdair to provide wording.

The tuple query APIs tuple_size and tuple_element do not support references-to-tuples. This can be annoying when a template deduced a parameter type to be a reference, which must be explicitly stripped with remove_reference before calling these APIs.

I am not proposing a resolution at this point, as there is a combinatorial explosion with lvalue/rvalue references and cv-qualification (see previous issue) that suggests some higher refactoring is in order. This might be something to kick back over to Core/Evolution.

Note that we have the same problem in numeric_limits.
