That's the wrong direction. What you want is a means to query a 
unknown container for it's properties so that you can bypass 
builtin operators:

1. by comparing addresses of elements and be able to assume 
strict order as you progress

2. by assessing compile time uniformity in distribution so that 
you can iterate using SIMD.
