[swift-users] expression too complex

[Erica Sadun]

I've seen this happen specifically in collections.

There was one only yesterday that I was helping out with:

Try doing this with all the String:Closure pairs in the original declaration.

Over the remaining course of Swift 3, we're also looking to rearchitect the standard library so that there are fewer generic global operator overloads, moving the polymorphism into protocol methods instead, which should further reduce the burden on the type checker.
