// Outside help:
// This and that, Gary Powell.
// Fixed return types for get_head/get_tail
// ( and other bugs ) per suggestion of Jens Maurer
// simplified element type accessors + bug fix  (Jeremy Siek)
// Several changes/additions according to suggestions by Douglas Gregor,
// William Kempf, Vesa Karvonen, John Max Skaller, Ed Brey, Beman Dawes,
// David Abrahams.

// Revision history:
// 2002 05 01 Hugo Duncan: Fix for Borland after Jaakko's previous changes
// 2002 04 18 Jaakko: tuple element types can be void or plain function
//                    types, as long as no object is created.
//                    Tuple objects can no hold even noncopyable types
//                    such as arrays.
// 2001 10 22 John Maddock
//      Fixes for Borland C++
// 2001 08 30 David Abrahams
//      Added default constructor for cons<>.
