+14689 on this one. I'm working on a project right now where I have a
significant amount of subtypes inside one of my types (gameboy emulator,
creating abstractions on the io registers to make them more pleasant to deal
with) and I have the subtypes split up into a bunch of files. With current
syntax, all of these files are forced to adhere to the following pattern:
extension IORegisters {
struct X { body }
}
With this proposal, all of these files could be unindented to the left like so
(and would arguably be more clear):
struct IORegister.X { body }
I'm in favour of allowing methods and computed properties to be declared in
this way as well:
func A.doSomething() {}
var A.computedProperty: B {}
I also agree with the notion that this proposal should be viewed as syntactic
sugar - a short-form way of writing extensions, nothing more - and as such
should not have any weird semantic differences from them.
Also, this is my first reply on this list, hi everyone!
