This is a first attempt at implementing a
DictionaryProtocol
protocol as discussed in #293This is not complete yet and needs discussion in order to improve!
For now it conforms stdlib
Dictionary
andOrderedDictionary
to the newly introducedDictionaryProtocol
.A basic first definition of a
MutableDictionaryProtocol
has been created but no conformances added yet. (Want to get the base protocol right first and perhaps identify methods that we would want a mutable version to have)Hoping to get some feedback on the current implementation and will add conformances to the other Dictionary objects next.
Would we also like to introduce a
SetProtocol
? Should we consider this first since Dictionaries often depend on some type ofSet
of keys? Or do we keep the keys collection more generic than constraining it to aSet
kind of type?Not all checks are done since this is still in development :) Would love to hear people's thoughts!
