[swift-evolution] Proposal: conversion protocol naming conventions

[brad.hilton.nw at gmail.com]

Just going to put in my two cents: I think `Initializable` makes more sense than `Createable` or `Instantiable` assuming that we want to encourage protocols with initializers rather than static methods which aren’t as pretty. ;) I believe `Serializable` or `Representable` would be great for converting types to a given value. I’m also of the mind that `Convertible` should represent the combination of `Initializable` and `Serializable` protocols and may in many cases simply exist as a convenience protocol that inherits from the two.

> I have drafted a proposal to establish precise conventional meaning for the use of `Convertible`, `Representable`, and `Projectable` protocol suffixes. The proposal would require renaming `CustomStringConvertible` and `CustomDebugStringConvertible` to `CustomStringProjectable` and `CustomStringProjectable` respectively
