    //! Returns the `n`th element of an iterable.
    //! @ingroup group-Iterable
    //!
    //! Given an `Iterable` and an `IntegralConstant` index, `at` returns the
    //! element located at the index in the linearization of the iterable.
    //! Specifically, given an iterable `xs` with a linearization of
    //! `[x1, ..., xN]`, `at(xs, k)` is equivalent to `xk`.
    //!
    //! If the `Iterable` actually stores the elements it contains, `at` is
    //! required to return a lvalue reference, a lvalue reference to const
    //! or a rvalue reference to the matching element, where the type of
    //! reference must match that of the iterable passed to `at`. If the
    //! `Iterable` does not store the elements it contains (i.e. it generates
    //! them on demand), this requirement is dropped.
    //!
    //!
    //! @param xs
    //! The iterable in which an element is retrieved. The iterable must
    //! contain at least `n + 1` elements.
    //!
    //! @param n
    //! A non-negative `IntegralConstant` representing the 0-based index of
    //! the element to return. It is an error to call `at` with an index that
    //! out of bounds of the iterable.
    //!
    //!
    //! Example
    //! -------
    //! @include example/at.cpp
