I have been using the STL for some time now and have been investigating 
possible use of the boost libraries in future projects.  The most useful 
library I have found so far was the boost::lamda library.  I was reading 
the documentation and experimenting around with the boost::tuples library. 
 The documentation is excellent and very complete and now I understand how 
to create tuples and maybe use them is some limited way.  Thing is, I 
can't seem to grasp what advantages there are of tuples over structures 
and classes?  Can someone tell me; what are the benefits of tuples over 
structures or classes?

Thanks,
