/** @file try.cpp
** Metaprogramming: how to unload the contents of a runtime typed variant sequence
** into ctor arguments of a (compile time typed) tuple. This involves two problems
** - how to combine iteration, compile-time indexing and run-time access.
** - how to overcome the runtime-to-compiletime barrier, using a pre-generated
** double-dispatch (visitor).
**
** The concrete problem prompting this research is the necessity to receive
** a command invocation parameter tuple from a Record<GenNode>
