Tuples in MS Visual C++

Hello,
        Is there interest in a portable tuple implementation? The vault only 
contained 
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/boost/files/lambda/Win32%20Port/Tuple.h - it 
wasn't complete and hasn't been updated in a while. I was able to port most 
of the lambda library's tuples to VC++ except that 
        - Reference parameters can't be used (reference to reference problem).
        - The get<N>(x) retrieval works, but x.get<N>() will not.

I've tested it on VC++ 6.0sp4, g++-2.95.2 (-ansi -pedantic), CVS gcc (-ansi 
-pedantic), and Borland C++ 5.5.1 (the get<N>(x) retrieval is broken here - 
BCC seems to want to deduce all parameters on its own?).

The code is available at:
