You can't specialize a generic algorithm for specific operations and data structures; in C++ terms, it gives you overloading, not templates.

It gives generic programming. C++ templates aren't the only possible implementation.

So where is a generic vector data structure written in plain C that is efficient (that is, doesn’t store pointers to elements).
