True. Well, in this case since the SpreadSort template only works for
integers then Steve could just specialise for
std::vector<char,short,int,long,long long,etc>. Otherwise I guess
something using enable_if is possible, but I'm not going to stick my
neck out and guess how to write it with all these experts reading...
