// A Tuple is a generic templatized container, similar in concept to std::pair
// and std::tuple.  The convenient MakeTuple() function takes any number of
// arguments and will construct and return the appropriate Tuple object.  The
// functions DispatchToMethod and DispatchToFunction take a function pointer or
// instance and method pointer, and unpack a tuple into arguments to the call.
//
// Tuple elements are copied by value, and stored in the tuple.  See the unit
// tests for more details of how/when the values are copied.
//
// Example usage:
//   // These two methods of creating a Tuple are identical.
//   Tuple<int, const char*> tuple_a(1, "wee");
//   Tuple<int, const char*> tuple_b = MakeTuple(1, "wee");
//
//   void SomeFunc(int a, const char* b) { }
//   DispatchToFunction(&SomeFunc, tuple_a);  // SomeFunc(1, "wee")
//   DispatchToFunction(
//       &SomeFunc, MakeTuple(10, "foo"));    // SomeFunc(10, "foo")
//
//   struct { void SomeMeth(int a, int b, int c) { } } foo;
//   DispatchToMethod(&foo, &Foo::SomeMeth, MakeTuple(1, 2, 3));
//   // foo->SomeMeth(1, 2, 3);

// Traits ----------------------------------------------------------------------

// A simple traits class for tuple arguments.
//
// ValueType: the bare, nonref version of a type (same as the type for nonrefs).
// RefType: the ref version of a type (same as the type for refs).
// ParamType: what type to pass to functions (refs should not be constified).

// Tuple -----------------------------------------------------------------------
//
// This set of classes is useful for bundling 0 or more heterogeneous data types
// into a single variable.  The advantage of this is that it greatly simplifies
// function objects that need to take an arbitrary number of parameters; see
// RunnableMethod and IPC::MessageWithTuple.
//
// Tuple<> is supplied to act as a 'void' type.  It can be used, for example,
// when dispatching to a function that accepts no arguments (see the
// Dispatchers below).
// Tuple<A> is rarely useful.  One such use is when A is non-const ref that you
// want filled by the dispatchee, and the tuple is merely a container for that
// output (a "tier").  See MakeRefTuple and its usages.
