Can anyone give me a rough estimate of how hard (in terms of coding, not in terms of Swift Evolution process) it would be to adopt (1) `extension Set<ShippingOptions>` as an outright alias for `extension Set where Element == ShippingOptions` and (2) `extension [ShippingOptions]` for `extension Array where Element == ShippingOptions`?
Thanks,

I have the impression this would be simple enough because it would only live in the parser. But I'm no expert.

You would need some way to tell the compiler which associated type goes
in the <>s.

I don’t think we are talking about associated types but only of generic arguments (Set, Array). But perhaps you’re going to say it’s a bad idea to promote (through a nicer syntax) writing generic algorithms over Array when they could be written against Sequence.

Sorry, I missed that.

I wasn't going to say that. ;-)
