1-3) Extracts the `Ith` element element from the tuple. `I` is an integer value in `[0, sizeof...(Types))`.
4-6) Extracts the element of the tuple `t` whose type is `T`. Fails to compile if the tuple has more than one element of that type.

### [edit] Parameters

t | - | tuple whose contents to extract

### [edit] Return value

1,4) Reference to the selected element of `t`.
2,5) Rvalue reference to the selected element of `t`, unless the element is of lvalue reference type, in which case lvalue reference is returned.
3,6) Const reference to the selected element of `t`.

### [edit] Exceptions

`noexcept` specification:
noexcept

### [edit] Example

Run this code

    #include <iostream>
    #include <string>
    #include <tuple>

    int main()
    {
        auto t = std::make_tuple(1, "Foo", 3.14);
        // index-based access
        std::cout << "(" << std::get<0>(t) << ", " << std::get<1>(t)
                  << ", " << std::get<2>(t) << ")\n";
        // type-based access
        std::cout << "(" << std::get<int>(t) << ", " << std::get<const char*>(t)
                  << ", " << std::get<double>(t) << ")\n";
    }

Output:

    (1, Foo, 3.14)
    (1, Foo, 3.14)
