STOP DOING C++

Templates were not supposed to make your error messages explode into unrecognizable gibberish
"Yes, please generate 5000 pages of garbage instead of an understandable error message!" - statements dreamed up by the utterly deranged

Look at what compilers have been demanding your respect for all this time:

If you can't understand that error message then I don't know what to tell you.
