Should we rename "class" when referring to protocol conformance?

I don't think I understand the question. Maybe you should show me the
specific LinkedList you're interested in. When you say “generate,” do
you mean automatically?

FWIWs:

1. I don't intend to make every == operator automatically-generated

2. A LinkedList can be defined using enums and no classes

3. Though it can be done, I am of the opinion that linked lists usually
   make poor value types.

Hmm, I get the feeling that I was arguing your own point back at you. Sorry,
Dave, I’m a little slow. :)

Still, how would you generate an equality operator for a data structure that
requires wrapper classes currently, like a LinkedList?
