Yeah, I agree with "By" instead of "As". It makes it a bit clearer that these protocols kinda work backwards, so to speak. That is, if I understand things correctly, rather than adding functionality/semantics to the conforming type, conforming to a literal protocol adds functionality/semantics to the corresponding literal "type" (which we can't directly interact with because they don't actually exist within Swift's type system). - Dave Sweeris _______________________________________________ swift-evolution mailing list [email protected] https://lists.swift.org/mailman/listinfo/swift-evolution
