The proposal has been <b class="">rejected</b>. For reference, the proposal text is here:<div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span><a href="https://github.com/apple/swift-evolution/blob/master/proposals/0013-remove-partial-application-super.md" class="">https://github.com/apple/swift-evolution/blob/master/proposals/0013-remove-partial-application-super.md</a></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Response to the proposal was positive: the proposed restriction did not seem onerous given the implementation complexity, despite it being a regression from Swift 2.1. However, the core team felt that it doesn’t make sense to make this a restriction in the <i class="">language</i>: it would be an odd corner case that a user of Swift would not expect nor be able to explain based on an understanding of the implementation model.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">That said, it is a reasonable temporary restriction in the <i class="">implementation</i>. The compiler can diagnose this case as “unsupported”, and there will be a bug to track the proper implementation of this feature. The core team believes that, in the future, such implementation restrictions—where something is possible to implement but is difficult and therefore not worth doing immediately—should be handled via the bug tracker and discussions on Swift developer’s mailing list, rather than going through the evolution process.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>Thanks all,</div><div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>Doug Gregor</div><div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>Review Manager</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""></div></body></html>
