A more concrete objection here is the very much non-ideal juxtaposition of two different access modifier terms in the "@abiPublic internal" spelling. It would seem to me that "@abi" would suffice instead. Indeed, the fact that it's an "interface" implies a certain level of visibility, which in my view is more precise than coopting the term "public"--that term in turn has an established meaning in Swift that, by construction, an "@abiPublic internal" method does not fulfill.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div><div name="messageBodySection" style="font-size:14px;font-family:-apple-system,BlinkMacSystemFont,sans-serif"><ul style="margin:15px 0px;padding-left:30px;font-family:Helvetica,arial,sans-serif;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)"><li style="margin:0px">Is the problem being addressed significant enough to warrant a change to Swift?</li></ul></div></div></blockquote><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Yes, we need this.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div><div name="messageBodySection" style="font-size:14px;font-family:-apple-system,BlinkMacSystemFont,sans-serif"><ul style="margin:15px 0px;padding-left:30px;font-family:Helvetica,arial,sans-serif;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)"><li style="margin:0px">Does this proposal fit well with the feel and direction of Swift?</li></ul></div></div></blockquote><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Yes, with a caveat.
