Idioms and Patterns: Tag Dispatching
Explore tag dispatching as a technique in C++ for selecting functions at compile-time using type traits. Understand how this improves performance by enabling decisions based on type categories, illustrated through iterator tags from the Standard Template Library. This lesson helps you grasp an essential idiom for efficient generic code design.

Tag Dispatching enables us to choose a function based on type characteristics.
- The decision takes place at compile-time.
- Traits make the decision based
