The desired behavior was for indexing the sorted tuple to work like indexing 
the original tuple. That is, given tuple<char[4], char[2], char[1], char[5], 
char[3]>, you were supposed to produce another tuple for which get<0> still 
returns char[4], even though the first element is physically char[1].
