I generally agree with Doug.  The canonical way to indicate “this
method/property/type implements a requirement of protocol P” should be
to define the entity in an extension that also adds conformance to P.
If that's inadequate indication in some way we should find a way to
enhance it.  I wouldn't mind the notation above, but only as a fallback,
not a reuquirement.
