Pattern matching against one-sided ranges looks great, and being able to use postfix “...” to create a sequence is niche but nifty. > > - Is the problem being addressed significant enough to warrant a > change to Swift? > > Definitely. The excessive verbosity of “startIndex” and “endIndex” is a drag on readability when subscripting. > - Does this proposal fit well with the feel and direction of Swift? > > Replacing a long awkward incantation with a simple and aesthetic alternative is about as Swifty as it gets! > > - If you have used other languages or libraries with a similar > feature, how do you feel that this proposal compares to those? > > Closest would be Matlab with colons for ranges and the “end” keyword. This proposal is far superior. > - How much effort did you put into your review?
