[swift-evolution] [Review] SE-0104: Protocol-oriented integers

[David Waite]

In addition to the technical review, I would like to point out that the definition of Arithmetic appears to be missing some underscores in add/adding/subtract/subtracting

I’m so glad this work is being done!

For Integer, does the presence of signBit indicate an expectation that signed Integers will have a two's complement representation?

For FixedWidthInteger#dividedWithOverflow/remainderWithOverflow, under what situations would you have an overflow? I could only come up with something like Int.min.dividedWithOverflow(-1).

Yes, oh yes.

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

It looks like a significant improvement.

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

I combed the proposal for questions, although most were answered by the time I hit the end.
