+0.75

"RangeExpression" is an unexpected name. I was expecting "RangeProtocol", as in 
IteratorProtocol and LazySequenceProtocol.

We need a consistent suffix for protocols that can't be named in -able,  -ible, 
or named with a simple noun because the noun is already used by a concrete 
type. "-Protocol" should be that prefix: RangeProtocol.

Yes. Anyone who has written `s[s.startIndex..<i]` knows that something was 
wrong.

People who claim that s[..<i] or s[i...] are not legible have a demi-point: I 
predict that all online tutorials about String will rush on those fancy new 
operators, and they will percolate in the Swift culture very quickly.

Yes. That's a very good use of Swift operators.

I love how negative indexes are used in Ruby and Python. I know that this can't 
apply to Swift because not all indexes are integers. This proposal addresses 
several use cases provided by those negative indexes.

I did evaluate the name of RangeExpression, but not its design.

Thanks for this proposal,
