[swift-evolution] [Review] SE-0191: Eliminate IndexDistance from Collection

[Nevin Brackett-Rozinsky]

The proposal mentions one reasonable situation where a larger-than-Int type
would be useful, namely a Collection wrapping a memory-mapped file, being
used on 32-bit systems.

Is there a recommended migration strategy for this scenario?
