Let me flip the question: why would they be UInt64 and UInt32? Absent a reason to prefer a specific fixed-with type, Swift integers should generally default to being [U]Int (and ideally Int, but RawExponent is Unsigned). – Steve _______________________________________________ swift-dev mailing list swift-dev@swift.org https://lists.swift.org/mailman/listinfo/swift-dev
