This is the crux of our disagreement. I DO consider
"type requirement" as a synonym for the word "concept" as used
in C++ documentation. The adoption of the word "concept"
for this purpose has led to untold amounts of confusion.

Again - I invite any C++ concept guru is free to chime in on this.

I rest my case.
