Re: [swift-evolution] Generic Alaises

Hi Ross, That was a hell of an example! However, even with the types as they are now, the code needn’t look so dreadful. With following protocols in place: protocol Indexed { associatedtype Index : Hashable var index: Index { get } } protocol NodeType : Indexed { } protocol

Re: [swift-evolution] Generic Alaises

It's not the same topic. Let's take an example: suppose we have a data structure for a graph of nodes and edges, where the nodes and edges are indexed and both have values. So we have a Graph. Now suppose we want a shortest path from one node to another, and we have a data structure to represent

[swift-evolution] Generic Alaises

This was inspired from the topic about moving where clauses out of parameter lists. Certain generics get very long winded, I was wondering if we could create some sort of alias for generics. func anyCommonElements (lhs: T, _ rhs: U) -> Bool could be shared across functions like so:
