    //! Returns the first element of a pair.
    //! @ingroup group-Product
    //!
    //! Note that if the `Product` actually stores the elements it contains,
    //! `hana::first` is required to return a lvalue reference, a lvalue
    //! reference to const or a rvalue reference to the first element, where
    //! the type of reference must match that of the pair passed to `first`.
    //! If the `Product` does not store the elements it contains (i.e. it
    //! generates them on demand), this requirement is dropped.
    //!

    //! Example
    //! -------
