Is the proposal to add these initializers to protocols like IntegerType, or just to individually add them to each of the numeric types? It’s unclear from the proposal, but in case that question hasn’t been decided yet, I’d like to vote for putting them in the protocols. It’s bugged me for a while that IntegerType doesn’t contain any of the existing initializers, even though every single type that conforms to it contains them, and even though FloatingPointType also contains them. Having support for these initializers in the protocol lets you do things like initialize generalized integer types in generic functions, which can be handy sometimes.
