It would similarly be nice if String.init(_: Any) were instead String.init(_: CustomStringConvertible), and passing something to it that wasn’t convertible was an error. Similarly for string interpolation (although particular types would need a way to specify additional interpolatable types they supported). -- Brent Royal-Gordon Architechies _______________________________________________ swift-dev mailing list swift-dev@swift.org https://lists.swift.org/mailman/listinfo/swift-dev
