One thing that would help to let people know is that you can constrain to numeric using Float, e.g.,

function add<T:Float>(a:T, b:T):T {
    return a + b;
}

This will even work with Int and I can confirm on the hxcpp target at least it does monomorph to a class that uses ints, no float conversion.
