SwiftUI.AppStorage comes with these two:

init(wrappedValue: Value, _ key: String, store: UserDefaults? = nil) where Value : RawRepresentable, Value.RawValue == Int
init(wrappedValue: Value, _ key: String, store: UserDefaults? = nil) where Value : RawRepresentable, Value.RawValue == String

I want to add:

init(wrappedValue: Value, _ key: String, store: UserDefaults? = nil) where Value : RawRepresentable, Value.RawValue == Double

But I can't figure out how to do this, appears not possible?

I want to store Date in AppStorage by extending Date to conform to RawRepresentable. I want this RawRepresentable.RawValue to be type Double, not String to avoid format/parsing String in and out.

instead of this:

extension Date: RawRepresentable {
    public var rawValue: String {
        timeIntervalSinceReferenceDate.description
    }

    public init?(rawValue: String) {
        guard let d = Double(rawValue) else {
            print("⚠️ Date failed to parse rawValue \"\(rawValue)\" as a TimeInterval(aka Double)")
            return nil
        }
        self.init(timeIntervalSinceReferenceDate: d)
    }
}

do this:

extension Date: RawRepresentable {
    public var rawValue: Double {
        timeIntervalSinceReferenceDate
    }

    public init?(rawValue: Double) {
        self.init(timeIntervalSinceReferenceDate: rawValue)
    }
}
