Hmm... even if the code is syntactically succinct, it doesn't
necessarily mean lower complexity or that it requires less
testing. You provided an example yourself: you have generic code,
which works for values, but not for references. You need a lot of
testing not because the features have different syntax, but
because they work differently, so code, which works for one
thing, may not work for another.
