Sorry, initially sent off-list:
I think this proposal is a great idea. But I would vote for the alternative
of
only having default and implicitly deducing extend when default is not
specified:
This wouldn't work with the fundamental design decision that these are optional
keywords, which IMO is absolutely key.
Hmm, I'm inclined to agree with David that only the default keyword really seems like
it's necessary, and that extend can be implied.
I'm not so sure. If they are optional, then it depends on developer if he/she wants
to explicitly mark some func to avoid possible errors. Please look here :
1. First we have this
protocol A {
func foo() {}
}
and we write extension (possible in another file)
extension A {
extent func bar() {} // I'm sure currently I want *additional* 'bar' method
}
2. Then 'A' protocol has been changed for some reason :
protocol A {
func foo() {}
func bar() {}
}
Now, if we have 'extent' - we(compiler) can detect the problem here('bar' was not the
default implementation for A's requirement). Without 'extent' - 'bar' will be default
implementation without our intent for this.
So, in case suggested keywords are both optional - IMO we need both.
In case 'default' is required - then yes, we need only it.
My preference would be to just add the default keyword, and have breaches treated as
warnings using the current behaviour, which we can eliminate and elevate to an error
in future once people have had a chance to change their code.
