In efficiency, you mean? One dispatch is 0(1) in the number of cases, the other is 0(n).
Is that necessarily so? Surely specialisations for common cases could do some hashing and potentially achieve O(1)..O(n). Also, even in the templated case wouldn't the O(1) case only apply to contiguous integral cases.? - Rob.
