Libraries exist: https://github.com/haxscramper/nimtraits https://github.com/haxscramper/nimtraits https://github.com/andreaferretti/patty https://github.com/andreaferretti/patty https://github.com/alaviss/union https://github.com/alaviss/union Again we are not new to this problem and already offer alternatives.
