OptionSet as Sequence

[J.E_Schotsman]

Hello,

Recently I wrote code like this:

let domains:[FileManager.SearchPathDomainMask] = [.userDomainMask, .localDomainMask, .networkDomainMask]
for domain in domains { … }

But I would prefer this:

let domains:FileManager.SearchPathDomainMask = [.userDomainMask,.localDomainMask, .networkDomainMask]
for domain in domains { … }

This requires this OptionSet to conform to Sequence.
Would it be possible to generically conform all OptionSets with RawValue:IntegerArithmetic to Sequence?
I’ve tried but it seems to be tricky.

I don't see the needs to call `for domain in domains` with `domains:OptionSet`.
If a parameter want an OptionSet, why not just use`domains` directly
instead of `domain`?

You are right, I was writing bad code.
When working with option sets you always end up writing code like

if options.contains(flag1) {...}
if options.contains(flag2) {…}
...

No need for a for-in loop.
Please ignore my posting.
