This is in general an unsolved problem -- there isn't a way to
programmatically destructure a type. This affects std::apply, but also
other tuple-related functionality (make_from_tuple, tuple's assignment
operator, etc.).

Note that simply making those `get` calls perform ADL won't help in
every case where you can apply structured bindings. It won't work for
arrays, it won't work for non-destructurable classes (where you
destructure the accessible data members), and it also won't work for
destructurable classes that chose a member get() vs. a non-member one.

My 2 c,
