The `DictionaryLiteral` *structure* isn't a hash table. It's an array of key-value pairs, and allows duplicate keys. Entries are accessed by their position, not by their key. <https://developer.apple.com/reference/swift/dictionaryliteral> > What's wrong with ExtendedGraphemeCluster?

The `ExtendedGraphemeCluster` prefix is verbose. The `Character` *structure* is already defined as: "A single extended grapheme cluster, ..." Why have different names for the same concept? <https://developer.apple.com/reference/swift/character> > Likewise, it's not a StringInterpolationLiteral but StringInterpolation; > there's no syntax for demarcating it, so it's a string literal constrained by > what's between the double quotes. The design team suggested `InterpolatedStringLiteral` in their SE-0041 feedback. <https://github.com/apple/swift-evolution/blob/master/proposals/0041-conversion-protocol-conventions.md#response-to-design-team-feedback> I suggested using protocol inheritance. <http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.swift.evolution/17229> -- Ben _______________________________________________ swift-evolution mailing list [email protected] https://lists.swift.org/mailman/listinfo/swift-evolution
