     * @brief Lookup a value by a key in a varargs list
     *
     * This function template takes the value of its first argument (selector)
     * as a key and searches for it in the key-value map passed in a varargs list
     * (every next pair of arguments forms a key-value pair). If a match is found,
     * the respective value is returned; if no pairs matched, the last value
     * (fallback) is returned.
     *
     * All options should be of the same type or implicitly castable to the
     * type of the first option. Note that pointers to methods of different
     * classes are of different object types, in particular.
     *
     * Below is an example of usage to select a parser depending on contents of
     * a JSON object:
     * {@code
     *  auto parser = lookup(obj.value["type"].toString(),
     *                      "type1", fn1,
     *                      "type2", fn2,
     *                      fallbackFn);
     *  parser(obj);
     * }
     *
     * The implementation is based on tail recursion; every recursion step
     * removes 2 arguments (match and option). There's no selector value for the
     * fallback option (the last one); therefore, the total number of lookup()
     * arguments should be even: selector + n key-value pairs + fallback
     *
     * @note Beware of calling lookup() with a <code>const char*</code> selector
     * (the first parameter) - most likely it won't do what you expect because
     * of shallow comparison.
