[swift-evolution] [Proposal] More lenient subscript methods over Collections

[Luis Henrique B. Sousa]

I agree with your parenthesis, but it might not be a valid argument if we
consider that "clamp" is already a word used in the standard library
<https://developer.apple.com/library/watchos/documentation/Swift/Reference/Swift_HalfOpenInterval_Structure/index.html#//apple_ref/swift/structm/HalfOpenInterval/s:FVs16HalfOpenInterval5clampFGS_x_GS_x_>
.
(but I have to say that also as a non-native speaker "within" was way more
clear to me at first sight... 8-) )
