Thank you for this. Very interesting discussion. And apparently a
deliberate restriction of flexibility in type conversion.
I will first try to understand better how templates work under
the hood before joining this discussion.
Given the types S and T in say `templfunc(S, T)(S arg1, T arg2)
{}`
represent 2 different actual types in the program, does that mean
that there are 4 versions of the `templfunc` function compiled
in? (This was the C++ way iirc).
Or are the types T and S are put on the stack like ordinary
arguments and the usage of arg1 and arg2 within the function is
enveloped in switches that query these Types?
