The Concepts TS -- the ISO-published Technical Specification for
constrained templates -- was merged into the C++20 Working Paper in
2016. This is a big deal for C++. We've been missing this kind of
language feature for nearly 30 years. Well... now that we have it,
it's probably a good idea to know what it's for and how to use it.

This talk covers basic topics of generic programming using concepts.
I will talk about using concepts to write constrained templates,
overloading constrained functions (why, when, and how), and how to
define good concepts (which is a bit trickier than you might imagine).

I will also discuss some of the changes to the syntax and semantics
of language features in the Concepts TS when it was merged into
the Working Paper for C++20.
