[swift-evolution] [Review] SE-0065 A New Model for Collections and Indices

[Jacob Bandes-Storch]

Minor questions after initial read-through:

- Should the comment on {index,formIndex}(_:stepsFrom:) say what happens if
the resulting index would be out of bounds? Can these functions return
Optional values, or can they be `throws`?

- Can {index,formIndex}(_:stepsFrom:) be combined with the limitedBy:
versions, such that the limit is an *optional parameter* with default value
nil? For example:

    public func index(n: IndexDistance, stepsFrom i: Index, *limitedBy
limit: Index? = nil*)
