Why than std::pair has 'first' and 'second' instead of 'nullth' and 'first'
(and why tuple of two variables should use different scheme than std::pair)?

Why do we have std::bind1st and std::bind2nd instead of std::bind0th
and std::bind1st (and I think when we use tuples for binding,
the scheme should be consistent with standard binders)?
