Just to point out that it's the kind of duplication which is not easily removed; the new version works differently. The proposition used several overloaded function templates for the various special cases, whereas the new version uses a trait technique. Another advantage of the new version is that it doesn't require special workarounds for compilers lacking partial ordering of function templates, which the proposition needed.
