[swift-evolution] [Review] SE-0178: Add unicodeScalars property to Character

[Rien]

	• What is your evaluation of the proposal?

+1


> 	• Is the problem being addressed significant enough to warrant a change to Swift?

Its not a change but an extension to the language that feels entirely natural.


> 	• Does this proposal fit well with the feel and direction of Swift?

Yes, see above,

> 	• If you have used other languages or libraries with a similar feature, how do you feel that this proposal compares to those?


Not really, as the String type in swift is fairly complex. However I have done a fair bit of string parsing, and this change will make string parsing easier and more like ascii-string parsing.


> 	• How much effort did you put into your review? A glance, a quick reading, or an in-depth study?

Quick reading. It does not seem very complicated.

Rien
