Of course, making structs and enums Equatable should be much easier (the 
same is true for e.g. Hashable).
However, I still think Protocol conformance should be something which is 
specified explicitly.

When we improve support for generics we might be able to provide a 
default implementation for those cases where all fields are already 
Equatable/Hashable.
Then, making your struct conform to Equatable would be easy:

     extension MyStruct: Equatable {}
