[swift-evolution] [swift-evolution-announce] [Review] SE-0156: Class and Subtype existentials

[Hooman Mehr]

Similar observation on my side as well. Certainly it is better to specify the class constrain (or the type alias that has the class constrain) first because (sub)class constrain is the most determining factor about the nature of the declaration, but I think it is too hard to enforce properly when we have left type alias door wide open.

My only objection is to the ordering rules—I'm not convinced that they pull their weight, especially given that typealiases can be used to introduce class constraints that aren't in the leftmost position. It's a lot of rules and strictures for a dubious benefit.
