Research direction

No file or test is named in the issue. Start by locating the boost::array std::get overloads and the std::tuple_size/std::tuple_element declarations, then inspect related tests and project conventions; done means the legality and usability concern has an explicit resolution.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Defining overloads in namespace std is undefined behavior, so I'm wondering why we're adding overloads of std::get for boost::array. Since we aren't specializing std::tuple_size or std::tuple_element, these overloads would never be used anyway, even if they were legal.
