yeah. but i'm not Andrei, i don't believe that the only compiler 
task is to resolve templated code. ;-) i.e. Andrei believes that 
everything (and more) should be moved out of compiler core and 
done with library templates. Andrei is genius, for sure, but he 
is living somewhere in future, where our PCs are not bound by 
memory, CPU, and other silly restrictions. ;-)

tl;dr: using template for this sux.
