There's no need for a proposal, just a JIRA: https://bugs.swift.org/browse/SR-115?jql=text%20~%20%22Generic%20subscript%22 <https://bugs.swift.org/browse/SR-115?jql=text%20~%20%22Generic%20subscript%22> 

It’s a nontrivial new user-facing feature with new syntax in the language, so it’ll need a proposal. ‘twould be good for the proposal to link to the JIRA ticket.

I’ve only heard positive reactions toward this feature, and it’s something that the standard library could make good use of.
