I am not quite sure, but I think this is the issue of "concept" (that 
were discussed for and then dropped from C++11).

As I understand it, D does indeed offer the same functionality in the 
form of template parameter constraints. Still, the formalism of template 
constraints offers so much flexibility that it is difficult to ensure 
clear error messages for the user while keeping the code clear and 
simple as well.
