Does that permit Brent’s use case, where it accepts one Value but returns a different one?

I’m looking at your original one. How can valueBySmashing… take a Foo and return a Bar?

It couldn’t without the <T, U> formulation from my comment. Didn’t see that he needed that. Updated.

This doesn't work — but I'm not sure why it doesn't work.

in this, U is determined by the caller and can be anything. But impl always returns Bar.

Yep. Okay. No way to fix this without making Value hetero-equatable, as said. :(

In other words, falling back to guard let x = x as Value else { abort }?

No, adding isEqual(Value) to Value instead of “: Equatable".

That tweet would be the imply of a Value’s isEqual—runtime type constraint. 😔

Replying to
? You could implement a total isEqual(Value) depending on your semantics.

I had assumed the real motivating case wouldn’t permit a total isEqual.
