And I'm not sure if people feel the same as me, but I haven't been happy with
the current way generic arguments (such as Key and Value above) magically
appear in type extensions but are inaccessible from anywhere else and can't be
made public (`public typealias Key = Key` is an error).
The above syntax would make it possible to use whatever identifiers locally so
that it's clear what they are:
extension Dictionary<K, V>
// (unclear if `where K : Hashable` should be repeated here, though)
{
...
}
extension Array<T>
where T : Comparable
{
...
}
extension Array<T>
where T == String
{
...
}
etc.
