Then have your two classes implement PublicProto directly. That discussion would probably be best had on another mailing list though.</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Jun 22, 2016 at 11:19 AM, David Ungar via swift-users <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:swift-users@swift.org" target="_blank">swift-users@swift.org</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div style="word-wrap:break-word">I love protocol-oriented programming because of the guarantees that come with value types.
