[swift-users] experimental conditional conformances flag

I've now installed 2017-12-05 snapshot and can confirm that it too works
for me.
In more detail:

1. Install swift-DEVELOPMENT-SNAPSHOT-2017-12-05-a-osx.pkg

2. Restart Xcode (I'm using Xcode 9.2 (9C40b))
    (I guess it shouldn't be necessary to restart, but I think it might be
...)

3. Create a new command line project.

4. Put -enable-experimental-conditional-conformances in Other Swift Flags
in the project's Build Settings.

5. Enter the following code in main.swift and Build (which works without
errors):

protocol P {}
struct S<T> {}
extension S: P where T: P {}


Regarding step 2. I'm not 100% sure, but I think that it might be necessary
to restart Xcode after installing a new snapshot, because even if the new
snapshot can be selected from the toolchains menu, it doesn't take affect
until after restarting Xcode. I'm always restarting Xcode after installing
and selecting a new toolchain. Someone please correct me if you can prove
that this isn't necessary.
