Consider that C++ has only just got template constraints 
(concepts), and they have been at the design stage, roughly, 
since I was born on to this earth.

We have template constraints already, we could have nicer 
template constraints as a fairly trivial library solution 
(composing them isn't hard), but ultimately more templates puts a 
lot of pressure on the compiler for not much benefit.
