I can't see any implementation issues with it, but I think 
templates should be an explicit choice when writing functions.

Like it or not, templates still cause a lot of code bloat, 
complicate linking, cannot be virtual, increase compilation 
resources, and generate difficult to understand messages. They 
are a powerful tool, but need to be used wisely.
