<p>When <span class="citation" data-cites="P1858R1">[<a href="#ref-P1858R1" role="doc-biblioref">P1858R1</a>]</span> was presented to EWGI in Prague <span class="citation" data-cites="EWGI.Prague">[<a href="#ref-EWGI.Prague" role="doc-biblioref">EWGI.Prague</a>]</span>, that group requested that the structured bindings extension in that proposal was split off into its own paper. This is that paper, and the original paper continues on as an R2 <span class="citation" data-cites="P1858R2">[<a href="#ref-P1858R2" role="doc-biblioref">P1858R2</a>]</span>.</p>
<p>Assuming the original paper gets adopted, and we end up with facilities allowing both declaring packs and indexing into them, it becomes a lot easier to implement something like <code class="sourceCode cpp">tuple</code> and opt it into structured bindings support:</p>

<p>That’s short, easy to read, easy to write, and easy to follow - dramatically more so than the status quo without P1858.</p>
<p>But there’s quite a bit of redundancy there. And a problem with the tuple-like protocol here is that we need to instantiate a lot of templates. A declaration like:</p>
<div class="sourceCode" id="cb2"><pre class="sourceCode cpp"><code class="sourceCode cpp"><span id="cb2-1"><a href="#cb2-1"></a><span class="kw">auto</span> <span class="op">[</span>v<sub>1</sub>, v<sub>2</sub>, <span class="op">...</span>, v<sub>N</sub><span class="op">]</span> <span class="op">=</span> tuple;</span></code></pre></div>
<p>requires <code class="sourceCode cpp"><span class="dv">2</span><span class="er">N</span><span class="op">+</span><span class="dv">1</span></code> template instantiations: one for <code class="sourceCode cpp">std<span class="op">::</span>tuple_size</code>, <code class="sourceCode cpp">N</code> for <code class="sourceCode cpp">std<span class="op">::</span>tuple_element</code>, and another <code class="sourceCode cpp">N</code> for all the <code class="sourceCode cpp">get</code>s). That’s pretty wasteful. Additionally, the tuple-like protocol is tedious for users to implement. There was a proposal to reduce the customization mechanism by dropping <code class="sourceCode cpp">std<span class="op">::</span>tuple_element</code> <span class="citation" data-cites="P1096R0">[<a href="#ref-P1096R0" role="doc-biblioref">P1096R0</a>]</span>, which was… close. 13-7 in San Diego.</p>
<p>What do <code class="sourceCode cpp">tuple_size</code> and <code class="sourceCode cpp">tuple_element</code> do? They give you a number of types and then each of those types in turn. But we already have a mechanism in the language that provides this information more directly: we can provide a pack of types.</p>
<h1 data-number="2" style="border-bottom:1px solid #cccccc" id="proposal" data-number="2" style="border-bottom:1px solid #cccccc"><span class="header-section-number">2</span> Proposal<a href="#proposal" class="self-link"></a></h1>
<p>Currently, there are three kinds of types that can be used with structured bindings <span class="citation" data-cites="P0144R2">[<a href="#ref-P0144R2" role="doc-biblioref">P0144R2</a>]</span>:</p>
<ol type="1">
<li><p>Arrays (specifically <code class="sourceCode cpp">T<span class="op">[</span>N<span class="op">]</span></code> and not <code class="sourceCode cpp">std<span class="op">::</span>array<span class="op">&lt;</span>T, N<span class="op">&gt;</span></code>).</p></li>
<li><p>Tuple-like: those types that specialize <code class="sourceCode cpp">std<span class="op">::</span>tuple_size</code>, <code class="sourceCode cpp">std<span class="op">::</span>tuple_element</code>, and either provide a member or non-member <code class="sourceCode cpp">get<span class="op">()</span></code>.</p></li>
<li><p>Types where all of their members are public members of the same class (approximately).</p></li>
</ol>
<p>This paper suggests extending the Tuple-like category by allowing types to opt-in by <em>either</em> providing a member pack alias named <code class="sourceCode cpp">tuple_elements</code> <em>or</em>, if not that, then the status quo of specialization both <code class="sourceCode cpp">std<span class="op">::</span>tuple_size</code> and <code class="sourceCode cpp">std<span class="op">::</span>tuple_element</code>.</p>
<p>In other words, a complete opt-in to structured bindings for our <code class="sourceCode cpp">tuple</code> would become:</p>
