[swift-evolution] [Review] SE-0032: Add find method to SequenceType

[Jose Cheyo Jimenez]

> 	* What is your evaluation of the proposal?

I think it is too limiting and I’d rather have find() be merged with current index() method.

// I believe these used to be called find() in swift 1.0
func index(of element: Self.Iterator.Element) -> Self.Index?
func index(@noescape where predicate: (Self.Iterator.Element) throws -> Bool) rethrows -> Self.Index?

I think it is really confusing to have an index() and a find() that do very similar things. 

I rather have an overloaded find() 

func find(indexOf element: Self.Iterator.Element) -> Self.Index?
func find(@noescape indexOf predicate: (Self.Iterator.Element) throws -> Bool) rethrows -> Self.Index?
func find(@noescape element predicate: (Self.Iterator.Element) throws -> Bool) rethrows -> Self.Iterator.Element?

// Return a tuple with the index and element
func find(@noescape predicate: (Self.Iterator.Element) throws -> Bool) rethrows -> (index:Self.Index, element:Self.Iterator.Element)?


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

yes,  I use filter for this but I believe find() and index() should be merged for it to be worth it. 

> 	* Does this proposal fit well with the feel and direction of Swift?
yes but I believe index() should be renamed to find()

> 	* If you have you used other languages or libraries with a similar feature, how do you feel that this proposal compares to those?
python.
> 	* How much effort did you put into your review? A glance, a quick reading, or an in-depth study?
read the proposal and suggested an extension of scope.
