Can the compiler detect that and use the proper code so no test is needed at runtime?
This is Zig so I guess the answer is "yeah, duh" but wanted to ask since it sounded like the solution is less, uh, "compiler-friendly" than I would expect.

if (comptime T == u8) {
// code
}
But I do think adding explicit `comptime` in places like this is reasonable for the sake of conveying intent to other programmers.
