`FloatingPoint` seems to have a similar concept to `absoluteValue` that's called "magnitude", although there's no actual `magnitude` property. Would that be a better name for this concept? And if so, should it be on `Arithmetic`? I don't think the `FloatingPoint` spec actually specifies how absolute values should be handled (for that matter, I don't think this one does either), and currently it seems to come out of an `AbsoluteValuable` protocol that I haven't seen mentioned in either the Integer or FloatingPoint proposals. -- Brent Royal-Gordon Architechies _______________________________________________ swift-evolution mailing list [email protected] https://lists.swift.org/mailman/listinfo/swift-evolution
