Hi Jon,

You are right that this is a limitation of the current implementation in Swift 
2.2. I may have fixed this recently in master:

https://github.com/apple/swift/commit/3aacf5d805768527b59d24e6da2a03911b3dd5b0 
<https://github.com/apple/swift/commit/3aacf5d805768527b59d24e6da2a03911b3dd5b0>

It would be great if you could try the latest compiler with your code.
