[swift-evolution] [Review] SE-0119: Remove access modifiers from extensions

[L. Mihalkovic]

To me this is reminicent of what is happening with the T.Type / Type<T> story, where there seems to be a rush to throw a proposal under the cut-off date even if it is ill-prepared, or based on misunderstandinds.
