I've a serious aversion against regular-looking constructs with special power as well (from time to time, I find myself thinking that ErrorType and SequenceType are somewhat odd… ;-) On the other hand: Is a magic struct better than a magic property? After all, the size of a type is a property of that type… Tino___ swift-evolution mailing list swift-evolution@swift.org https://lists.swift.org/mailman/listinfo/swift-evolution

We're trying to get away from “magic” properties that exist on every
type, I think.

I share the minor concerns that have been expressed so far.
My first thought on this topic ("MyStruct.size") had a obvious flaw, but I
wouldn't fear name collisions with something like "MyStruct.memoryLayout.size".
This one most likely has issues as well, but imho they aren't that obvious and
deserve being discussed in the alternatives-section (or a short answer here to
wake up my tired mind ;-)
