[swift-evolution] [Proposal] clarification around protocol implementation and protocol extensions

[David Waite]

I wrote up the following draft proposal around attempting to clarify protocol implementation and protocol extensions, via annotating methods and properties meant to satisfy protocol requirements with additional keywords:

"Types implementing protocols with optional features (either through default implementations on extensions, or optional methods on objective-C protocols) do not have a way to detect either local typos or later upstream changes to the protocol  method signatures will result in behavioral changes. This proposal attempts to rectify that in a manner similar to override on subclassed types."

I’d appreciate feedback from the list! This is very much a first draft, likely filled with tyops.
