[swift-users] Type of expression is ambiguous for static tuples

[Adrian Zubarev]

It’s because the compiler does not support this yet. It’s the same with `let cgColor: CGColor = .clear.cgColor // will not work`.

Instead you need to write `UIColor.clear.cgColor` or in your case `Double.phythagoreanTruple.0`

Given the following extension ...

extension Double {
    typealias Triple = (Double, Double, Double)
    static let pythagoreanTriple: Triple = (3, 4, 5)
}
... why does Swift compiler emits the following errors?

// Type of expression is ambiguous without more context
let a: Double = .pythagoreanTriple.0

// Type of expression is ambiguous without more context
func f(_ x: Double) {}
f(.pythagoreanTriple.0)
The errors disappear with explicit Double.pythagoreanTriple.0.

Why doesn't the compiler infer Double in this case?
