In order to pick a random element, you’re saying I should have to do “Int.random(0 ..< 10)”? The redundancy here is that I have to specify Int twice: once for the “.random” call, and again for the type of the range. We can do better than that.</div></div></div></div></blockquote></div></div></div></div></blockquote><div><br class=""></div><div>I don’t see how this is redundant—do you mean that you’d need to write out the type name instead of writing `(0..<10).random()!`?
