A few questions: 1. What is universal lookup? How is this different than the compiler having to search a crowded namespace? I'm really trying to understand how this is making it easier for the type checker.
2. If operators are a special case, why not replace static/class func with an "operator" keyword? Requiring static/class seems like an implementation detail to get this universal lookup. 3. Will the static vs class distinction ever be fixed or cleaned up? Isn't there a way to share one keyword for this same feature across all types? Regardless, I'm still giving this a +1. I'm just hoping we can: - reduce some cognitive burden - add a little character Brandon > On Jul 7, 2016, at 1:54 PM, Chris Lattner <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hello Swift community, > > The second review of "SE-0091: Improving operator requirements in protocols" > begins now and runs through July 12.
