/* Possible simplifications where less legacy toolchain support is needed: | |

* https://stackoverflow.com/questions/12436586/tuple-vector-and-initializer-list | |

* - In C++17 mode std::tie() and the preceeding variable delcarations can be | |
* replaced by structured bindings: auto [test_input, expected] = GENERATE( | |
