maybe i misunderstand your point, but let me express my thoughts 
a bit more:

we should worry about the internal details of how templates are 
implemented. they should be implemented in the most idiomatic way.
manually optimising the code and making it harder to understand 
is suboptimal.
and doing it won't fix the same problem in user code. it really 
just hides it.
