1. If template constraints suck, why not fixing *them*?
2. If implementation not complaining to interface constrains is prohibited, why
you would want template constraints at all? Just use features you want and
compiler will give errors if they are not provided.
3. If you use templates, why you would need interfaces at all?
Interfaces parameterised with their implementations!
