You aren't unsailing anything with an email to std-proposals. Duck
typing over traits is heavily baked into the language and has been for
decades. Consider SFINAE and concepts.

If you'd really like to unsail this ship and try to improve things,
write a paper with lots of motivation and justification and propose
something that'll be more beneficial than this tagging approach.
Consider how, e.g., traits in Rust help with compiler errors and IDE
hints/type checking in generics.

Cheers,
Jeremy
