Im not super sure what specific use case you are after but are you sure you can't do this in some ways with comptime generics? I have to be able to do most generic-like stuff with comptime (though I sometimes have to change the implementation a bit).
I also really value how clear the lack of overloading makes the language. This way of clearly being able to follow the control flow is one of the things I like that they kept from C.
Yes I've tried zig a fair bit and the lack of operator overloading made the use untenable. The "ability to follow control flow" is, IMO, a silly argument. I will concede that `comptime` is a nice feature.
