Given a protocol with an associated type:
protocol Foo
{
associatedtype Bar
}
it should be possible to define a protocol conforming to Foo, for which Bar
can be typealiased:
protocol IntFoo : Foo
{
typealias Bar = Int
}
such that all conformers to IntFoo now have an associatedtype Bar being Int
without having to define it themselves. At present IntFoo cannot declare a
typealias (as this generates a warning that typealias has been deprecated),
but can declare an 'associatedtype Bar = Int' which types conforming to
IntFoo have to repeat to consider it properly declared. This re-declaration
is redundant.
