This is the #1 Swift feature I have wanted for the past 2 years.
One thing I would like to see (perhaps out of scope for this proposal) is the
natural extension for generic parameters:
struct Box<T> {
var t: T
}
extension Box where T == Int { //error: Same-type requirement makes generic
parameter T non-generic
}
There is a great deal of overlap between associated types and generic
parameters, and it seems to me that it would be favorable to allow `==` with
both generic parameter operands and associatedtype operands for consistency.

What goes into a review?
The goal of the review process is to improve the proposal under review through
constructive criticism and, eventually, determine the direction of Swift. When
writing your review, here are some questions you might want to answer in your
review:
What is your evaluation of the proposal?
Is the problem being addressed significant enough to warrant a change to Swift?
Does this proposal fit well with the feel and direction of Swift?
If you have used other languages or libraries with a similar feature, how do
you feel that this proposal compares to those?
How much effort did you put into your review? A glance, a quick reading, or an
in-depth study?
