namespace detail {
template <class F, class Tuple, std::size_t... I>
constexpr decltype(auto) apply_impl( F&& f, Tuple&& t, std::index_sequence<I...> )
{
  return std::invoke(std::forward<F>(f), std::get<I>(std::forward<Tuple>(t))...);
  // Note: std::invoke is a C++17 feature
}
} // namespace detail
 
template <class F, class Tuple>
constexpr decltype(auto) apply(F&& f, Tuple&& t)
{
    return detail::apply_impl(std::forward<F>(f), std::forward<Tuple>(t),
