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?
