Swift is still missing the features that make case 1 and 2 even viable motivations (conditional conformance and derive annotations), and I believe already mandates default initializers in several of the cases where 3 is relevant.
I *think* conditional conformance has already been accepted and just hasn’t been implemented yet, at least not in an official “can use to publish to app store” toolchain release.
