in the same areas as other things, like conditional branches, for
example.

templates is a very cool macro system, with type checks and so. i
haven't seen low-level programmers that doesn't use macros.

the only other required thing is good optimizing compiler with good
inliner, so small templates will be really inserted in-place, like C
macros.

there is also attribute inference for template functions, it's nice. ;-)
