> With the renaming proposed above, stride(of:) will appear to be related to stride(from:to:by:). This conflict arises from a pre-existing issue; namely, the term "stride" is used to mean two different things. Although moving the preposition only highlights the issue, one possible resolution is to rename strideof(_:) to strideSize(of:) and strideofValue(_:) tostrideSize(ofValue:).

I wonder if it might make sense to rename all of these, then?

	instanceSize(of:)
	instanceSize(ofValue:)
	alignmentSize(of:)
	alignmentSize(ofValue:)
	strideSize(of:)
	strideSize(ofValue:)
