+// Fixed return types for get_head/get_tail
+// ( and other bugs ) per suggestion of Jens Maurer
+// simplified element type accessors + bug fix  (Jeremy Siek)
+// Several changes/additions according to suggestions by Douglas Gregor,
+// William Kempf, Vesa Karvonen, John Max Skaller, Ed Brey, Beman Dawes,
+// David Abrahams.
+
+// Revision history:
+// 2002 05 01 Hugo Duncan: Fix for Borland after Jaakko's previous changes
+// 2002 04 18 Jaakko: tuple element types can be void or plain function
+//                    types, as long as no object is created.
+//                    Tuple objects can no hold even noncopyable types
+//                    such as arrays.
+// 2001 10 22 John Maddock
+//      Fixes for Borland C++
+// 2001 08 30 David Abrahams
+//      Added default constructor for cons<>.
