Me neither. :) This question made me aware of a distinction in template use cases.
- Templates are mostly for generic algorithms as in "This code will work with any type, value, etc."
- The yield() template in my example was not about genericity: I wanted to instantiate that template with only one type (which currently has to be provided by the user). So, I wanted to take advantage of the template type deduction to detect a type from inside the user's code.
Not a big deal at all. Ali
