[swift-evolution] ed/ing, InPlace, Set/SetAlgebra naming resolution

[plx]

On a skim, if there’s a specific explanation as to *why* `inPlace` is a now a no-go, I don’t see it. I can’t say I like the proposed changes very much, and I definitely don’t like some of the more-creative suggestions.

It’s hard to offer help when it’s not clear what was deemed problematic about the existing (and “perfectly fine with me”!) names.

Separately, can I ask here why SetAlgebra protocol doesn’t contain an *overridable* method like `func intersects(other: Self) -> Bool`? 

(Note: I am *well-aware* that `a intersects b <=> !(a and b are disjoint)`).

That absence has been puzzling me ever whichever release of Swift first introduced this protocol, particularly since e.g. both `isSubsetOf` and `isSupersetOf` are individually-overridable. 

 (Likewise, but less so, I do wonder why the protocol doesn’t contain *overridable* `isStrictSubset` and `isStrictSuperset` functions, either...).
