#
Requires: I < sizeof...(Types).
The program is ill-formed if I is out of bounds.
2
#
Returns: A reference to the Ith element of t, where indexing is zero-based.

[ Note
:
[Note A] If a T in Types is some reference type X&, the return type is X&, not X&&.
However, if the element type is a non-reference type T, the return type is T&&.

[ Note
:
[Note B] Constness is shallow.
If a T in Types is some reference type X&, the return type is X&, not const X&.
However, if the element type is a non-reference type T, the return type is const T&.
This is consistent with how constness is defined to work for member variables of reference type.

#
Requires: The type T occurs exactly once in Types....
Otherwise, the program is ill-formed.
6
#
Returns: A reference to the element of t corresponding to the type T in Types....

[ Example
: 
  const tuple<int, const int, double, double> t(1, 2, 3.4, 5.6);
  const int& i1 = get<int>(t);        // OK. Not ambiguous. i1 == 1
  const int& i2 = get<const int>(t);  // OK. Not ambiguous. i2 == 2
  const double& d = get<double>(t);   // ERROR. ill-formed

[ Note
:
The reason get is a non-member function is that if this functionality had been provided as a member function, code where the type depended on a template parameter would have required using the template keyword.
