If you want to see the code please use Phobos code (not Mir). Template
bloat was significantly reduced in
https://github.com/dlang/phobos/pull/4823.
My general thinking here is that if we improve compiler technology to
avoid template bloat, that would "lift all boats" i.e. make everybody's
life better. So that would be preferable (to the extent possible) to
requiring user-level idioms. -- Andrei
