because this element picking mechanism for tuples
looks like an instance of something generic.
At least I've written almost the same just some days ago
for the revised version of function-closure, where the
task was to replace a stretch of type arguments in
a given tuple type with a stretch of placeholder types
and then to build a modified ctor, which just fills
in the remaining arguments, while default constructing
the placeholder types. And if we look into the GNU
implementation of std::bind, they're using a similar
concept (with the difference that they're building
a functor object, where we use a type converter)
This refactoring also integrates some generally useful
bits into our standard metaprogramming helper collection
quite sure I never really meant to do that, just, at that time,
it seemed logical to treat Placement as yet another smart-ptr.
But in the light of what crucial entity Placement became meanwhile,
I can't imagine a single case where anyone wants to wrap away a
placement as if it was some shrink-wrap
...based on all the clean-up and reorganisation done thus far,
we're now able to rebuild the util::str in a more direct and
sane way, and thus to disentangle the header inclusion problem.
Seemingly I've hit a nasty problem here, because PlacementIndex
should return an Placement&, but this is being fetched
after-the fact from within the iterator.
