[swift-evolution] About the PermutationGenerator

[Susan Cheng]

I don't think so.

As we don't say "Fibonacci collection", we know Fibonacci numbers are in
order. But we can't tell the number immediately if I asked a specific index
of Fibonacci sequence. The only way is calculate the sequence one by one
from start.

So we need the collection, and collection do the jobs. But it true that
collections are sequences.
Swift is also have this definition, in concrete implementation way.
