I see. In e.g Swift, you'd have to define before hand that T1 could be used with <= while here I guess it adds in the method for "each" T1 that could be used with it. I assume this just duplicates the method for each type at compile time instead of at runtime try to figure it out? Damnit, now I wanna rewrite back to C++.

In C++ it just prints an error message and halts compilation if you try to use a type which doesn't support the semantics of the template function. It does not add functions which are not declared already.

That's what C++ concepts are for (maybe we'll see them in C++17).
