[swift-evolution] Change in String.CharacterView.Index?

Howdy,

I've been building the latest Swift 3.0 and noticed that between Apr 25 and
today that String.CharacterView.Index.advance(by:) is no longer available.

This runs with an Apr 25 build (Swift 255544591c to be exact)
let string:String = "Hello, world!"
print(string.startIndex)
print(string.startIndex.advanced(by:1))

It fails with a build today (May 8, Swift 26fcf1ab4a):
test.swift:3:14: error: value of type 'Index' (aka
'String.CharacterView.Index') has no member 'advanced'
print(string.startIndex.advanced(by:1))
      ~~~~~~~^~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~

I don't know who runs swiftdoc.org but it is handy, and shows advanced(by:)
a valid method:
http://swiftdoc.org/v3.0/type/String.CharacterView.Index/

Not sure what I'm missing here!

Thanks,
Joe
