+The compiler can determine refinement based on the sets of required operations (here, suffix `++`).
 This decreases the burden on implementers of these types since
 they do not need any special declarations to "hook into the concept".
 If two concepts have exactly the same requirements, they are logically equivalent (there is no refinement).
 
 ##### Enforcement
