> The vague error I get is “Ambiguous reference to spans” on the “if let index = self.spans…” line with the “self” highlighted. The container is a class. “spans” is computed property. I’m not sure if it’s confused about what self is, or spans. Or why either wouldn’t be clear.

Nevermind.

I had a few moments before added a setter function that looked like func spans(tson:TSON)
