The final revisions are reflected in the latest version of the proposal: https://github.com/apple/swift-evolution/blob/master/proposals/0065-collections-move-indices.md Summary: * We decided to take Shawn Erickson's excellent suggestion <http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.swift.evolution/14450> to use “location” uniformly for index movement, so instead of successor(i) and predecessor(i) we have location(after: i) and location(before: i). * Since Brent Royal-Gordon pointed out <http://news.gmane.org/find-root.php?message_id=156D8FB1%2d1FD3%2d448E%2d8C70%2d6E7400629BC0%40architechies.com> that two of the three proposed Range protocols would likely disappear in future updates, we took another look at all of them. Finding `RangeProtocol` itself to be a very weak abstraction, we removed all three from the proposal. For those interested in details, implementation work proceeds apace on the swift-3-indexing-model branch at <https://github.com/apple/swift/tree/swift-3-indexing-model/stdlib/public/core>. P.S. If anyone is interested in contributing, there are still plenty of FIXMEs left for us to handle ;-) -- Dave _______________________________________________ swift-evolution mailing list [email protected] https://lists.swift.org/mailman/listinfo/swift-evolution
