I will acknowledge this idea is potentially inconsistent with many standard
language practices however I’m interested in discussing the potential benefits
of including this in Swift.
Swift has always had a lot of potential for being the one language (to rule
them all) you code in whether it’s o

current phase of Swift 4.
Looking forward, though, I'm not sure this belongs in the standard library.
In general, my understanding is that Swift's standard library is
deliberately small, and that the criteria for additions are t
I may be mistaken but I am not sure map is intended to make Optionals less
painful to use as you kind of imply. People that use and love optionals and say
that they are not a pain to use should not point at using/abusing the map
function and the potential removal of it as masochism IMHO, but I a
