Overall +1. Two reservations: 1. Functions like `signum()` that return a property would read better as a property! 2. I have found `BitwiseOperations` useful as an extension to both Bool and Set and for a custom set type. Therefore would prefer its retention and even more preferably that Bool and Set implement it. • Is the problem being addressed significant enough to warrant a change to > Swift? > Yes, generic representation of integers is useful. > • Does this proposal fit well with the feel and direction of Swift? > Yes, particularly the re-arrangment of the protocol hierarchy is in keeping with the rest of the restructuring of the standard library. > • If you have used other languages or libraries with a similar feature, > how do you feel that this proposal compares to those? > Yes, many languages I use allow generic numeric functions to be written and I write my own numeric functions and will therefore use these protocols. > • How much effort did you put into your review?
