Right. This thread is very good food for this enhancement request of
mine:

Vote for this enhancement :-)
I don't think this is a good idea. Generic code could result in an error
where there shouldn't be. For example:
int foo(T)()
{
if(T.sizeof == char.sizeof)
...
}
Would this fail to compile where T == char? What about if T == ubyte?
Generic programming sometimes results in silly code that is perfectly
acceptable as generic code, and we need to take this into account before
making decisions assuming a person is writing the code.
