Well, the goal is to define a syntax to allow avoiding the warnings.
See my proposal previously in this thread about why I think an
explicit cast would be better than using 0U in template code. Yet,
with template code perhaps we could just avoid warning completely but
I don't see how to check at the point of warning that the type comes
from the instantiation of a template. If there is some way to check
that that I have missed while looking into this, please let me know.
