[swift-evolution] [Review] SE-0136: Memory Layout of Values

[Karl]

> 	* What is your evaluation of the proposal?

+1

Although if I was nitpicking I prefer the name “ofInstance” (as in the stdlib private function) to “ofValue”. 

What is the standard nomenclature? Whereas I would distinguish between “objects/instances” and “values”, I’ve started referring to all Swift things as “objects” and “instances”, even if they are value types.

Yes

I think the metatype system needs revising for Swift >3.0, but given time constraints this is the best solution

Followed prior discussion, read proposal
