I think that breaks down as soon as templates are involved, which is very pervasive in C++ codebase.

Given

    template<typename T, typename sometype>
    void foo(T<sometype>& baz)
It's not so straightforward anymore.

It can still apply the operation anytime a specialized object is defined. (This is how templates are compiled, right?)
