Value semantics is a property of operations, not really of types. I would say the function arrow is the right place for it, since not-value-semantics propagates in the same manner as an effect like "throws". Dave, you might in fact look at how 'throws' type checking is implemented as a model for what you're trying to do. -Joe _______________________________________________ swift-dev mailing list [email protected] https://lists.swift.org/mailman/listinfo/swift-dev
