DIP 1005 provides new syntax to make it possible to avoid

Any thoughts?
I like it!
Wow. This is... brilliant. Thanks for the great idea. I ran a
few tests and it
seems to be doing out of the box most of what we want with
DIP1005 with no
language change at all.
Congratulations!
I agree, it's pretty dazz! We need to give this technique a
memorable name (not an acronym). I thought "Voldemort Types"
turned out rather well, whereas CTFE is klunky, UFCS is even
worse. The absolute worst is C++ SFINAE.
Any ideas?
Scherkl-Nielsen Lookup?
The perfect bikeshedding moment!
Daniel, Dominikus: please consider writing an article about
this.
Thank you all that you like the idea.
I found myself using this idiom quite some time now in my
libraries but only recently realized, that it is the reason why I
didn't found DIP1005 too compelling - I just didn't need it
because of my workaround.
So I thought I should share the idea - and Daniels extension
makes it much easier to use. Have to update my libs with that :-)
But is this really worth an article?
