Who benefits from the `indirect` keyword?

Using Swift
10

Hey @Joe_Groff :)

I've stumbled into this some time ago(SR-12755), and for work around I did something like

struct Recursive {
  var value: Int
  
  private var _next: [Recursive?] = [nil]
  var next: Recursive? {
    get { _next[0] }
    set { _next[0] = nil }
  }
}

which does works. But this should really work? What are the effects on type layout in this case and how the recursive optional of same type inside the array is handled?

Thanks in advance.
