Enums and Dynamic Member Lookup

Nice. We're getting into minutia now, but I feel a small SwizzleComponent enum with cases x, y, z, etc. is nicer than a large Swizzle enum whose cases are the combinations of all orderings (e.g. .xxyy).

SwizzleComponent has a much smaller surface area and is more composable. I think it's harder to pattern match on "concatenated" .xxyy cases.

A related idea is to use OptionSet? That would enable grouping of related swizzles. Need to think more about it.


I think we should continue further discussion of swizzles on the SIMD proposal thread. Folks there may have more ideas.
