+/* A utility for expanding a tuple into a variadic argument list.
+ * Based on std::index_sequence. */
+
+/**
+ * Example usage:
+ *
+ * Problem:
+ *
+ *   You have a variadic function Foo:
+ *
+ *     template <typename... Args> void Foo(Args...);
+ *
+ *   And a variadic function Bar, which contains a tuple:
+ *
+ *     template <typename... Args>
+ *     void Bar() {
+ *       // ...
+ *       Tuple<Args...> t;
+ *     }
+ *
+ *   And inside Bar, you want to call Foo with the elements of the tuple as
+ *   arguments to Foo.
+ *
+ *   You want to write:
+ *
+ *     Foo(Get<0>(t), Get<1>(t), ..., Get<N>(t))
+ *
+ *   but you can't literally write that, because N is different for different
+ *   instantiations of Bar.
+ *
+ * Solution:
+ *
+ *   Write a helper function which takes the tuple, and an index sequence
+ *   containing indices corresponding to the tuple indices.
+ *
+ *     template <typename... Args, size_t... Indices>
+ *     void Helper(const Tuple<Args...>& t, IndexSequence<Indices>)
+ *     {
+ *       Foo(Get<Indices>(t)...);
+ *     }
+ *
+ *   Assuming 'Indices...' are 0, 1, ..., N - 1, where N is the size of the
+ *   tuple, pack expansion will expand the pack 'Get<Indices>(t)...' to
+ *   'Get<0>(t), Get<1>(t), ..., Get<N>(t)'.
+ *
+ *   Finally, call the helper, creating the index sequence to pass in like so:
+ *
+ *     template <typename... Args>
+ *     void Bar() {
+ *       // ...
+ *       Tuple<Args...> t;
+ *       Helper(t, typename IndexSequenceFor<Args...>::Type());
+ *     }
