[swift-evolution] Passing an optional first argument to sequence(first:next:)

[Maximilian Hünenberger]

Hi Tim,

If you pass "nil" to "first" isn't this an empty sequence? So it would be redundant.

Best regards
Maximilian

The fix would be to simply add the `?` in the function signature; no other changes are required to make it work.
