&gt; Regarding the “Number” protocol: it was felt this is likely to cause confusion with NSNumber, given the NS-prefix-dropping versions of other Foundation types indicate a value-typed concrete type equivalent, which this won’t be. The recommendation is to use “Numeric" instead.<br class="gmail_msg">

Does the `Error` protocol cause confusion with the `NSError` class?<br class="gmail_msg">
<br class="gmail_msg">
I think `Number` is better than `Numeric`, because it is consistent with `SignedNumber`.<br class="gmail_msg">
