/** Tuple-like element access.

    This overload permits the key and value
    of a `key_value_pair` to be accessed
    by index. For example:

    @code

    key_value_pair kvp("num", 42);

    string_view key = get<0>(kvp);
    value& jv = get<1>(kvp);

    @endcode

    @par Structured Bindings

    When using C++17 or greater, objects of type
    @ref key_value_pair may be used to initialize
    structured bindings:

    @code

    key_value_pair kvp("num", 42);

    auto& [key, value] = kvp;

    @endcode

    Depending on the value of `I`, the return type will be:

    @li `string_view const` if `I == 0`, or

    @li `value&`, `value const&`, or `value&&` if `I == 1`.

    Any other value for `I` is ill-formed.

    @tparam I The element index to access.

    @par Constraints

    `std::is_same_v< std::remove_cvref_t<T>, key_value_pair >`

    @return `kvp.key()` if `I == 0`, or `kvp.value()`
    if `I == 1`.

    @param kvp The @ref key_value_pair object
    to access.
