>       • What is your evaluation of the proposal?

+1 Enthousiastic!

>       • Is the problem being addressed significant enough to warrant a change 
> to Swift?

Yes, because library developers are required to declare generic methods, even 
when a subscript would look and feel more natural at the call site.

>       • Does this proposal fit well with the feel and direction of Swift?

Yes, because consistency simplifies the language: there was no good reason for 
subscripts not te be generic, except implementation details of the Swift 
compiler.

I'll use the same arguments to support throwing subscripts.

>       • If you have used other languages or libraries with a similar feature,

No, I don't.

>       • How much effort did you put into your review? A glance, a quick 
> reading, or an in-depth study?

I've been waiting this for years, for the SQLite library
