Thanks for the insight.
If only boost::tuples::element<N,Tuple>::type was a documented feature ...
The inheritance problem you describe is another proof that inheritance 
should not be used to extend interfaces in generic code and that 
containment is the superior approach (religious flamewars or very
good arguments against this appreciated).

Your post to comp.std.c++ had no response (thread "Pointer to member
contravariance and template non-type arguments")
Do you have any new insight on DR or not DR?
