I wonder if another way to say the same thing is that requiring the
compiler to generate the equivalent code amounts to a generic programming
requirement.  It's therefore appropriate to include such a proposal as part
of a new generic programming facility, but it's unlikely to succeed on its
own while the development of generic programming requirements are already
well under way.
