I do think that it can make sense to put very similar overloads in a

it's a bit of a maintenance issue to do it for completely distinct

especially if there are several of them rather than just a couple. But
it's
still possible to combine their template constraints at a higher level
and have
overloaded functions rather than simply using static ifs.
I also sometimes see:
void foo(T)(T t) if (A && B) { ... }
void foo(T)(T t) if (A && !B) { ... }
The user should never have to see the B constraint in the documentation.
This should be handled internally with static if.
There are problems with that but I do agree with the sentiment. -- Andrei
