Lippert is solid. I've read him off and on over the years. I'm not disagreeing with him as such. More like a "gosh it would be nice" scenario.

C++'s template system is really elegant. You can actually get the compiler to do do complex computations (like generating parse tables - see the Spirit framework) all at compile time, using a combination of macros and templates. That's an extreme example, but illustrates the flexibility.

Generics don't have the advantage of source level control - they aren't "fancy typed checked source macros" like C++ templates are. They are binary. That's advantageous for a number of reasons, just not in this case.

And you're right it's probably kind of an edge case. But it's one I ran headfirst into in a non-trivial coding project (my regular expression engine)

I could have made the FA engine far more flexible if I had had template specialization. In order to keep the functionality I had, I had to limit it to only dealing with char inputs. =/
When I was growin' up, I was the smartest kid I knew. Maybe that was just because I didn't know that many kids. All I know is now I feel the opposite.
