My only objection to this would be that “enable_if” is fairly confusing.
However, having said that, I think the end result is quite nice, and
calling the functions is very simple, so I withdraw my objection.

It would be nice if the header files could use “LongType” instead of
the longer “enable_if” block, however I remember when I tried this
myself and couldn’t find a way around it.
