What about code size?
The code size for one unit is the same as if you had (in that example)
declared a variant of "IsIn" for each "LongInt" and "String". So for each
"IsIn<T>" specialization with different types new code is generated if it
does not yet exist in that unit. This means that if you call "IsIn<LongInt>"
in different units you'll have a "IsIn<LongInt>" implementation in each
unit. This is the same as for generic types btw.

And the same (problem) in C++. Is there some proposal to mitigate the
code duplication? Or the official position is that if the project is
big enough to suffer from the bloat it should avoid itself the
duplicate declarations?
If we create a third unit with a wrapper function in which it
specializes the call, can we avoid the duplication code problem?
