    //! @ingroup group-datatypes
    //! General purpose index-based heterogeneous sequence with a fixed length.
    //!
    //! The tuple is the bread and butter for static metaprogramming.
    //! Conceptually, it is like a `std::tuple`; it is a container able
    //! of holding objects of different types and whose size is fixed at
    //! compile-time. However, Hana's tuple provides much more functionality
    //! than its `std` counterpart, and it is also much more efficient than
    //! all standard library implementations tested so far.
    //!
    //! Tuples are index-based sequences. If you need an associative
    //! sequence with a key-based access, then you should consider
    //! `hana::map` or `hana::set` instead.
    //!
    //! @note
    //! When you use a container, remember not to make assumptions about its
    //! representation, unless the documentation gives you those guarantees.
    //! More details [in the tutorial](@ref tutorial-containers-types).
    //!
    //!
    //! Modeled concepts
    //! ----------------
    //! `Sequence`, and all the concepts it refines
    //!
    //!
    //! Provided operators
    //! ------------------
    //! For convenience, the following operators are provided:
    //! @code
    //!     xs == ys        ->          equal(xs, ys)
    //!     xs != ys        ->          not_equal(xs, ys)
    //!
    //!     xs < ys         ->          less(xs, ys)
    //!     xs <= ys        ->          less_equal(xs, ys)
    //!     xs > ys         ->          greater(xs, ys)
    //!     xs >= ys        ->          greater_equal(xs, ys)
    //!
    //!     xs | f          ->          chain(xs, f)
    //!
    //!     xs[n]           ->          at(xs, n)
    //! @endcode

    //! optimizations. Also note that the type of the objects returned by
    //! `tuple_t` and an equivalent call to `make<tuple_tag>` may differ.
