[swift-users] Making Error sub-enums Equatable

[Ronaldo Faria Lima]

Rigorously, one should avoid to force the purpose of a given feature of a language or library construct. If you use Equatable, you must take into account the associated values for the sake of semantics.

However, you are free to create your own infix operator that could allow you compare your enum cases the way you want. It is important, however, to be sure that it will have a semantic clear enough so someone reading your code could understand it.

Ronaldo “Clocksmith” Lima
