But if you have a variable, parameter, etc. typed as P, that’s *not* the protocol, since protocols aren’t concrete entities. What you have there, by definition, is something that conforms to P. Similarly, something like [P] is just a collection of things, perhaps of various types, which all have the common feature that they conform to P. > I think there was some discussion about it on the original "Completing > Generics" thread from March. I'd probably ask on the swift-users list why P > can't be made to conform to P, and then put together a proposal if there's no > good reason. Will do. Charles
