I'm not sure how useful this is, because it's not really a comment on
your efforts, but... some of us think we know how this problem domain
*should* be addressed, and we know that Swift doesn't yet have the
necessary language facilities (integer generic parameters) to do the job
right.  The technique was described back in 1994 by Barton & Nackman in
