Are you also suggesting using similar approach to fix std::vector (if
it's even possible this way) or am I overinterpreting? If so, is there
anything fundamentally wrong with specialising the type traits instead
(see the second half of my original messages)? I'm not trying to push
for anything, just simply being curious.
