Extracts an element from the pair using tuple-like interface.

The index-based overloads (1-4) fail to compile if the index `I` is neither 0 nor 1.

The type-based overloads (5-12) fail to compile if the types `T` and `U` are the same.

### Parameters

p | - | pair whose contents to extract

### Return value

1-4) Returns a reference to `p.first` if `I==0` and a reference to `p.second` if `I==1`.
5-8) Returns a reference to `p.first`.
9-12) Returns a reference to `p.second`.

### Example

Run this code

    #include <iostream>
    #include <utility>

    int main()
    {
        auto p = std::make_pair(1, 3.14);
        std::cout << '(' << std::get<0>(p) << ", " << std::get<1>(p) << ")\n";
        std::cout << '(' << std::get<int>(p) << ", " << std::get<double>(p) << ")\n";
    }

Output:

    (1, 3.14)
    (1, 3.14)
