Generic programming for structure-aware algorithms

Alex Stepanov retired last week. He’s one of the most prominent members of the C++ community and one of the most innovative contributors to the C++ standard. He was the father of the STL and probably the first promotor of “concepts” as we now know them. Concepts, as specified in the ISO TS, will ship as part of GCC6.0 “any day now.” His work on generic programming goes back in time through Ada (1987), Scheme (1986), and Tecton (1981). See his list of contributions (books, articles, talks, and videos): http://www.stepanovpapers.com/. Without him, we would not have had generic programming as we know it and C++ would have been a very different and poorer language.
For the mathematically oriented among us, I strongly recommend his recent books: Mathematics to Generic Programming with Daniel E. Rose and Elements of Programming with Paul McJones. He got a great sendoff from his most recent employer, A9; they even issued a special stamp in his honor:

How to write customizable framework which would work on "practically any type". This article is continuation of author previous post: "Overload resolution".
A customizable framework
by Andrzej Krzemieński
From the article:
We want to provide a function (or a set of overloaded functions) that would ‘do the right job’ for ‘practically any type’, or for ‘as many types as possible’. As an example of such ‘job’ consider std::hash: what we want to avoid is the situation, where you want to use some type X as a key in the standard hash-map, but you are refused because std::hash does not ‘work’ for X. In order to minimize the disappointment, the Standard Library makes sure std::hash works with any reasonable built-in or standard-library type. For all the other types, that the Standard Library cannot know in advance, it offers a way to ‘customize’ std::hash so that they can be made to work with hash-maps.
