It's just a demonstration of what the OP was talking about but wasn't
explaining properly. I have no intention of writing or supporting this
code.
I think its fine if Andrei decides to write this code and uses a function
parameter instead of a template parameter, that I used a template
parameter instead of a function parameter is not a hidden suggestion.
