I understand that. What I'm saying is, if we'd gotten a stable ABI in Swift 3 and a redesigned standard library in Swift 4 instead of the other way around, the standard library changes would've broken a lot of that "ABI-compatible" code anyway. (That, or we simply would've been stuck with the old, unimproved standard library.) -- Brent Royal-Gordon Architechies _______________________________________________ swift-evolution mailing list swift-evolution@swift.org https://lists.swift.org/mailman/listinfo/swift-evolution
