It would seem to me that a polymorphic function would only need to be
specialized for a small set of, uh, "sizes" of data:  bytes, ints,
(and pointers, doubles, longs, depending on the architecture).

Do these compilers really pass larger types by value?  Or does
specialization need more information than the sizes of the types?
