True, but for template code doing so (and testing with concept 
archetypes etc) is nearly always very instructive IMO.

I feel the need less for overload resolution based on concepts, although 
every now and then I have a need for "this function accepts any 
container of integers" or some such.  Even then, type_traits + enable_if 
get surprisingly close.
