Generalizing for_each over a tuple to accept a variable number of arguments

Currently, I have:

template <unsigned I,
          unsigned N,
          typename Tuple,
          typename UnaryFunction>
struct for_;

template <unsigned N, typename Tuple, typename UnaryFunction>
struct for_<N, N, Tuple, UnaryFunction> {
  static
  void call(const Tuple&, UnaryFunction) {}
};

template <unsigned I,
          unsigned N,
          typename Tuple,
          typename UnaryFunction>
struct for_ {
  static
  void call(Tuple&& x, UnaryFunction f) {
    f(get<I>(x));
    for_<I + 1, N, Tuple, UnaryFunction>::call(std::forward<Tuple>(x), f);
  }
};

template <typename Tuple, typename UnaryFunction>
inline
void for_each(Tuple&& x, UnaryFunction f) {
  for_<0,
    tuple_size<
      typename std::remove_const<
        typename std::remove_reference<Tuple>::type
      >::type
    >::value,
    Tuple,
    UnaryFunction>::call(std::forward<Tuple>(x), f);
}

Is it possible to generalize this, probably by variadic templates, to take any number of tuple arguments?

EDIT:

Here is how I would use what I am unable to define:

if (i != e) {
  std::array<Tuple, 2> x;
  std::get<0>(x) = *i;
  std::get<1>(x) = *i;
  ++i;
  std::for_each (i, e, [&x](const Tuple& y) {
    for_each(std::get<0>(x), y, assign_if(std::less));
    for_each(std::get<1>(x), 开发者_如何学编程y, assign_if(std::greater));
  });
}

EDIT: changed to use rvalue references and std::forward

I'm not sure is it what you expected, but I'll post it - maybe someone will find it helpful.

namespace std {
    template<int I, class Tuple, typename F> struct for_each_impl {
        static void for_each(const Tuple& t, F f) {
            for_each_impl<I - 1, Tuple, F>::for_each(t, f);
            f(get<I>(t));
        }
    };
    template<class Tuple, typename F> struct for_each_impl<0, Tuple, F> {
        static void for_each(const Tuple& t, F f) {
            f(get<0>(t));
        }
    };
    template<class Tuple, typename F>
    F for_each(const Tuple& t, F f) {
        for_each_impl<tuple_size<Tuple>::value - 1, Tuple, F>::for_each(t, f);
        return f;
    }
}

Functor:

struct call_tuple_item {
    template<typename T>
    void operator()(T a) {
        std::cout << "call_tuple_item: " << a << std::endl;
    }
};

Main function:

std::tuple<float, const char*> t1(3.14, "helloworld");
std::for_each(t1, call_tuple_item());

You can check my answer here for a hint on expanding tuples

How do I expand a tuple into variadic template function's arguments?

See below for the map(UnaryFunction, Tuple&&...) implementation I will be using, as well as the code I had been messing with in an attempt to get it working completely as I wanted (for_aux, last, etc.).
