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>
</span>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></blockquote><div><br></div><div>That is an alternative, definitely. I'll add that in. alignof isn't really a size, though, so there's some bikeshedding to be done if going down that route. Personally, I'm a fan of minimalist changes and I'm not enamored with strideSize(of:) in the first place. There's work afoot to make changes to striding, so stride(from:to:by:) may not necessarily be long for this world in any case.</div></div></div></div>
