Well, I don't know. Seems like they haven't quite decided on the 
semantics, but implement it in order to get feedback on actual 
use.

The umbrella term is «generic programming», so templates is 
perhaps more like a special case of generics. Also, it could 
create C++ like expectations, perhaps. I assume they will go for 
something simpler.
