Hi Austin,

Thanks again for asking.  We actually have a pretty substantial
challenge ahead with replacing the standard library's collections and
indices with what's in
https://github.com/apple/swift/blob/master/test/Prototypes/CollectionsMoveIndices.swift
I anticipate that the whole stdlib team may need to be involved in this
project, which Dmitri (Cc'd) is driving, and we'd love it if you could
help.

Obviously, as it hasn't gone through review yet, it needs to happen on a
branch.

Does that sound interesting?
