In the descriptions that follow:

- [(1.1)](#1.1)

  Let TTypes be a pack formed by
the sequence of tuple_element_t<i, TTuple> for every integer 0≤i<tuple_size_v<TTuple>[.](#1.1.sentence-1)

- [(1.2)](#1.2)

  Let UTypes be a pack formed by
the sequence of tuple_element_t<i, UTuple> for every integer 0≤i<tuple_size_v<UTuple>[.](#1.2.sentence-1)
