Chris Lattner already said that the core team discussed your concerns: <https://lists.swift.org/pipermail/swift-evolution/Week-of-Mon-20170814/038854.html> <https://lists.swift.org/pipermail/swift-evolution/Week-of-Mon-20170814/038883.html> The original idea was for most types to be *implicitly* equatable and hashable: <https://lists.swift.org/pipermail/swift-evolution/Week-of-Mon-20160307/012099.html> The accepted proposal, with *explicit* declaration of conformance, is a good compromise. Instead of discussing hypothetical issues with SE-0185, we can wait for Swift 4.1 beta. -- Ben _______________________________________________ swift-evolution mailing list swift-evolution@swift.org https://lists.swift.org/mailman/listinfo/swift-evolution
