I don't want them to be objects, I want to write some functions once and be
able to specialize them
for many different types. I thought this is exactly the purpose of the
generic routines feature.

Example of such an algorithm is binary search. I am able to access elements
with [] operator of both
arrays and objects, but I cannot get length in a generic way.
