I can't see any implementation issues with it, but I think templates
should be an explicit choice when writing functions.
Leaving out the parameter type is an explicit choice.
Like it or not, templates still cause a lot of code bloat, complicate
linking, cannot be virtual, increase compilation resources, and generate
difficult to understand messages. They are a powerful tool, but need to
be used wisely.
The proposal does not make wise usage harder. It only makes usage more
concise in some cases.
