You can also get a heterogenous dictionary, but it needs a type erasing helper
box. With the following declarations:
public func ==<T: Equatable>(lhs: T, rhs: Any) -> Bool {
if let rhs = rhs as? T { return lhs == rhs } else { return false }
}
public struct AnyKey : Hashable {
public let hashValue: Int
public let key: Any
public let equals: (AnyKey) -> Bool
init<T: Hashable>(_ key: T) {
self.hashValue = key.hashValue
self.key = key
self.equals = { self.key as! T == $0.key }
}
}
public func == (lhs: AnyKey, rhs: AnyKey) -> Bool { lhs.equals(rhs) }
You can now create a heterogenous [AnyKey: Any] dictionary. Note that `AnyKey`
is not very memory efficient.
