At compile time there is no way of determining if T has an initializer that
takes a string. You could do something like this
----------------
protocol InitFromString {
init?(_ value: String)
}
func genericFor<T: InitFromString>(s:String) -> T {
return T(s)!
}
----------------
Then add extensions to the various types you want to convert to make sure
they conform to the InitFromString protocol.
