Hello, Swift community.
The review of SE-0460: Explicit Specialization ran through February 11th, 2025.
Feedback on the review was light but positive. During the discussion of the proposal, a question was raised about the interaction of explicit specialization with integer generic parameters, and it took us a little while to sort through what the desired behavior was. We have decided that specialization is defined to work with integer generic parameters, but code that does so currently does not compile due to a compiler bug. The author intends to fix that bug, but we have decided to accept the proposal now.
I'd like to thank the reviewers for taking the time to read the proposal, ask questions, and leave feedback on this proposal; it may not seem like much, but these contributions are a vital part of ensuring the quality of the language.
