What do you mean by "go before review"? I moved the proposal to a new thread: [Proposal] New mechanism to combine Types with/or Protocols
Feel free to read the formatted document, provide me some feedback and point me to typos if you spot any. I'll add the possibility to allow multiple reference/value types within the angle brackets as a considered alternative. I finally understand what Thorsten meant with this example: func intersect<T, U>(set1: Set<T>, set2: Set<U>) -> Set<All<T, U>> If T == U we'll get All<T, T> == T Or simply: func intersect<T>(set1: Set<T>, set2: Set<T>) -> Set<All<T>> This makes more sense to me. :) -- Adrian Zubarev Am 17.
