Swift type inference is simple! Or is it?
summary
Explains techniques in Swift for using and twisting the compiler's type inference to not only infer an object's type but also augment or parse composite types so additional type information is attached implicitly. Covers parsing and constructing composite types in ways that let code use those enhanced types without the caller being aware, with concrete Swift-focused examples and patterns.
