23.4.5 Piecewise construction [pair.piecewise]

struct piecewise_construct_t { explicit piecewise_construct_t() = default; }; inline constexpr piecewise_construct_t piecewise_construct{};

The struct piecewise_­construct_­t is an empty structure type used as a unique type to disambiguate constructor and function overloading. Specifically, pair has a constructor with piecewise_­construct_­t as the first argument, immediately followed by two tuple arguments used for piecewise construction of the elements of the pair object.
