Hi Kevin, This fits into a more general idea of introducing a better “ordering” concept defined in terms of three way comparison results (less/equal/greater). This would then become the primitive that sort would be built on, and would allow deriving the user friendly operators like < and <=. There was a sketch of this posted to swift-evolution several weeks ago, but I don’t have a link offhand. -Chris _______________________________________________ swift-evolution mailing list [email protected] https://lists.swift.org/mailman/listinfo/swift-evolution
