-        The list of variant types is stored in Tuple_T. The number of types is stored in I.
-        Starting with index 0, get the variant type using td::tuple_element_t<I, Tuple_T>>.
-        Next check if the variant has a value for that type using std::holds_alternative<T>. 
-        If yes, then call convertElement and save the return value to result. Then use the 
-        comma operator to return true to the fold expression. If the variant does not have
-        a value for the type then return false. 
-        
-        The fold operator is or (||). If an index returns false, then the next index is evaluated
-        up until I.
