- Many hidden overloaded functions are created at
    compile-time (one for each argument list that is actually used)
- Very difficult to use debugging techniques such as breakpoints
    (which of the hidden overloaded functions should get the
    breakpoints?)
- Use sparingly
- But use the Standard Template Library as much as possible
    (already well debugged and very efficient!)
