Yet another reply gone wrong... ;-)

Thank you Christian, this confirms my decision not to use the tuple stuff for
a first implementation. Still, reducing maintenance is a great thing. This
could be implemented through tuples and, hence, should be implemented this
way. I would have done so myself, hadn't it been for the imported tuple
implementations.

Since Carsten seems to have some expertise here, I thought I'd suggest this.
There is a problem with my suggestion, though. How do I access the k-th tuple
element other that Dune::get< k - first >. Is starting by anything different
from zero useful? Does it really make sense to provide the type Int, when get
only takes arguments of type int? In view of this, I guess the functianality
of the CodimTable was already the limit.

Of course, Carsten's suggestion of providing the size rather than the last
element is ok, too. I don't see where the possibility for an empty tuple would
be useful. Maybe you could give a relevant example?

Best,

Martin
