OK … this should be described in the book, though. (Any doc writers listening? Or is there a procedure for requesting improvements to the book?)

I’m also bemused that (as I said) there is a boolean protocol in Swift 2.2, and a different one in master (according to swiftdoc.org <http://swiftdoc.org/>), but none in Swift 3.0 (as of Xcode 8 beta 6). Is this just a glitch that snuck into the release? Or does the Swift in Xcode predate an API freeze?
