[swift-evolution] [Review] SE-0173: Add `MutableCollection.swap(_:with:)

[Ben Cohen]

Hi everyone,

Regarding the naming of the method: we discussed this amongst the core team and the feeling is that elements.swapAt(i, j) is the appropriate choice. We have a specific exception in the API naming guidelines around a preposition at the end of a base name, when the preposition applies to both arguments, and this falls under that case.

(this also happens to avoid the need for a work around for the source compatibility issue with shadowing the existing swap method – which isn't the determining factor, but is a nice side-effect)

Cheers,
Ben
