"If a constraint is specified for any type parameter, every type parameter
must have a constraint. If some type parameters need a constraint and some
do not, those that do not should have a constraint of interface{}."
"interface{}" equals to "Any Type" in the context of generics. So it seems
that we don't have to support optional constraint, for the following
reasons:
* the syntax defining generic function is verbose on purpose (type
keyword), not only for clarification, but also a remind of the cost and
complexity behind generics, so it is not a bad thing to be explicit about
the the default constraint interface{}
* normal parameter list does not support default type, to be consistent,
type parameter list should not either
* multiple generic types without constraints can be written as "type T1,
T2, T3 interface{}", not too much boilerplate anyway
