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

[Patrick Gili]

> 
> 	* What is your evaluation of the proposal?

1) I think eliminating intervals increases consistency and reduces confusion.

2) I really like the fact that this will make in-place index traversal methods public. It will reduce the amount of boilerplate for developers implementing new collections.

> 	* Is the problem being addressed significant enough to warrant a change to Swift?

Yes.

> 	* Does this proposal fit well with the feel and direction of Swift?

Yes.

> 	* If you have you used other languages or libraries with a similar feature, how do you feel that this proposal compares to those?

Most modern languages provide a sophisticated library supporting collections. I think this proposal is moving the Swift Foundation in the direction of the C++ STL and Boost libraries.

> 	* How much effort did you put into your review? A glance, a quick reading, or an in-depth study?

In-depth.
