I thought so, and I don’t think there is a way to do it, my point was really
just that your swift doc comments weren’t clear on that point, then I went off
at a bit of a tangent ;)

Should probably have "requires: Collection is sorted" or such, as a binary
search can’t really guarantee correct behaviour otherwise, no matter what your
predicate is. I also kind of prefer a name of isOrderedBefore for the
predicate; it matches .sort() and is very specific about what it does.

Did you mean “each element above the returned index evaluates as false"?
Implementation wise they seem fine, but I think that for correctness you should
be using .successor() and .advancedBy(), as not all indexes are numeric._______________________________________________
