Sure, but if the protocol hasn't changed, does a new type need to be generated? Maybe this is too much to ask, but I would imagine that the compiler could inspect the current protocol of the same name and compare it with the newly evaluated one, and then only generate a new type when necessary. I don't know how this machinery works currently so this could be a naive or incorrect way of thinking about it, but if possible it would really improve protocols for use in dynamic development.
