[swift-evolution] Specify type of a delegate which conforms to a protocol

[Alexey Demedetskiy]

As alternative to a protocol solution, you can use value type wrapper:

struct Delegate<T where T:UIViewController, T:UITableViewDelegate> {
    let value: T
}

class MyController : UIViewController, UITableViewDelegate {}
class WrongController : UIViewController {}

let delegate = Delegate(value: MyController())

//  error: generic parameter 'T' could not be inferred
let delegate = Delegate(value: WrongController())
