I don't really see the point when C++ already lets you write void foo(auto& t) { t.bar(); } which can be called with any class that has the .bar() method anyway. | |||||||||||||||||

Because it can also be called with any class that doesn't have the bar method, and good luck deciphering the compiler error for it when it's nested 3 levels deep into some far corner of the STL. | |||||||||||||||||
