I was just thinking that:
protocol Foo : reference {}
might be more to the point than:
protocol Foo : class {}

I know that it’s currently a moot point because classes are the only* 
reference-semantics type of type in Swift, but it’s conceivable that there 
might some day be others. Anyway, I’m not saying it’s a big deal or anything, 
I’m just trying to think of any source-breaking changes we might want to make 
before Swift 3 drops, and this seems like an easy one.

* I’m not actually sure this is true. I have a very vague recollection about 
some protocols getting reference semantics in certain circumstances, but the 
memory is so hazy I’m not sure I trust it. Also I can’t remember if the 
“indirect” keyword in enums affects the semantics.
