Parameterized Classes with Type and Value Parameters: Pitfalls

Pitfalls and red flags

• Assuming N can be changed at runtime after object creation; it is fixed by specialization.

• Using operations on generic T that are not legal for all expected specializations.

• Copying the same class for each payload type instead of parameterizing once.

• Skipping typedef aliases, which leads to accidental parameter mismatches across files.
