Covers building a recursive `seq_gen` template that produces `sequence<0,1,...,N-1>` types, then demonstrates a practical use case: automatically unpacking `std::tuple` values into function arguments using parameter pack expansion and the generated index sequence. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
