The get function for Boost's tuples is 0-indexed, so the English wording
``Nth element'' would refer to element that get<N - 1> returns, which
isn't what was intended.

Tuples already have their own namespace; perhaps boost::tuples::select
would be a good name. Since it would have an int template paramater,
the user would write select<N, ....>, which seems clear.
