<div style="font-family:Arial;">Extremely strong +1.<br></div>
<div style="font-family:Arial;"><br></div>
<div style="font-family:Arial;">Unlike others, I agree with the proposed deprecation of BitwiseOperations. It's not pulling its own weight under this new model. I encourage other reviewers to try, as the proposal suggests, to come up with a compelling user of just BitwiseOperations.<br></div>

<blockquote type="cite"><div><div>• Is the problem being addressed significant enough to warrant a change to Swift?<br></div>
</div>
</blockquote><div style="font-family:Arial;"><br></div>
<div style="font-family:Arial;">Yes; it's not as easy to work with integers in Swift 3 as floating point, which is annoying, since integers are important to binary programming.<br></div>
<div style="font-family:Arial;"><br></div>
<blockquote type="cite"><div><div>• Does this proposal fit well with the feel and direction of Swift?<br></div>
</div>
</blockquote><div style="font-family:Arial;"><br></div>
<div style="font-family:Arial;">The graph of methods and protocols is well-considered, and while it's probably not mathematically perfect, I could easily see the API being used to teach binary arithmetic.<br></div>
<div style="font-family:Arial;"><br></div>
<blockquote type="cite"><div><div>• If you have used other languages or libraries with a similar feature, how do you feel that this proposal compares to those?<br></div>
</div>
</blockquote><div style="font-family:Arial;"><br></div>
<div style="font-family:Arial;">I've tried (and failed) to use Swift's previous protocols for generic programming.<br></div>
<div style="font-family:Arial;"><br></div>
<blockquote type="cite"><div><div>• How much effort did you put into your review? A glance, a quick reading, or an in-depth study?<br></div>

</blockquote><div style="font-family:Arial;"><br></div>
<div style="font-family:Arial;">Thorough reading of previous revisions, glance through of this one. Thanks for providing the updates section!<br></div>
