[swift-evolution] Will these two features be included in Swift 3?

[Krzysztof Siejkowski]

Concerning extension constraining, it’s already doable with:

```
protocol DoubleProtocol {}

extension Double : DoubleProtocol {}

extension Array where Element : DoubleProtocol {
    func onlyForDoubles() -> String {
            return "hello doubles!"
    }
}

[1.2].onlyForDoubles() // „hello doubles!”
["a"].onlyForDoubles() // error: type of expression is ambiguous without more context
```

However, I personally like the idea of making a syntactic sugar for that case.

All the best,
Krzysztof

Concerning generic typealiases, the topic is already being discussed in „Generic `typealias`s” thread: https://lists.swift.org/pipermail/swift-evolution/2015-December/000132.html. The core Swift team approves:

definitely something that I (at least) would like to see. Patches

Can you please add these features in Swift 3?

1. The ability to do this:
extension Array<Double> {
    //extend arrays of doubles
}

2. Generic typealiases:
struct Foo<T,V> {
    let t: T
    let v: V
}
typealias IntFoo<V> = Foo<Int,V> //Error in Swift 2.1
