I approve heartily. I previously complained about this on the swift-users list, making mostly the same arguments against the idea of not using Int. The best argument against that I know is a file-mapping collection on a 32-bit platform; if this matters, IndexDistance could simply be Int64 instead of Int. > • Is the problem being addressed significant enough to warrant a change to > Swift?
