Improving numerics support in Swift is a part of a long-term plan. > Also, I don't know how many times I've found the need for this: > protocol DefaultInitializable { init() } Because there isn't a useful algorithm you can write on top of such a protocol. It is even hard to write a doc comment for it -- what are the semantics of calling that init? What is the postcondition?
