This conflict arises from a pre-existing issue; namely, the term "stride" is used to mean two different things. Although moving the preposition only highlights the issue, one possible resolution is to rename strideof(_:) to strideSize(of:) and strideofValue(_:) tostrideSize(ofValue:).<br>
<br>
I wonder if it might make sense to rename all of these, then?<br>
<br>
instanceSize(of:)<br>
instanceSize(ofValue:)<br>
alignmentSize(of:)<br>
alignmentSize(ofValue:)<br>
strideSize(of:)<br>
strideSize(ofValue:)<br>
