Yes, the motivation of “less difficulty of programming against generic collections” is good enough. > • Does this proposal fit well with the feel and direction of Swift? I feel it does. Things shouldn’t be generic “just because we can”. Swift has made a fairly firm recommendation on integer sizes and signedness, and that should continue into index distances in collections. > • If you have used other languages or libraries with a similar feature, > how do you feel that this proposal compares to those? C++ often has a difference_type in its containers, but hardly anyone uses that correctly (size_t vs difference_type). > • How much effort did you put into your review? A glance, a quick > reading, or an in-depth study? Quick glance.
