There's still work left to do. In terms of next steps, there's still rdar://problem/22126141, which covers removing the 'workaround' overloads for print (that prevent bogus overload resolution failures), as well as providing a decent diagnostic when users invoke print with 'appendNewline'.
Swift SVN r30976
Leave the qualification off of enum cases and type names when 'print'-ing them, but keep them on 'debugPrint'. (At least, at the outermost level; since ad-hoc printing of structs and tuples uses debugPrint, we'll still get qualification at depth, which kind of sucks but needs more invasive state management in print to make possible.) Implements rdar://problem/21788604.

ExtensibleCollectionType's operations can all be represented by the
primitive range replacement operation, so fold it into
RangeReplaceableCollectionType.
In addition, provide default implementations of
RangeReplaceableCollectionType's methods.
- New tests added for combinations of (static, generic) calls and
(default, custom) implementations.
- Mark free Swift functions as unavailable with a message to direct the
developer to the protocol methods.
- Mark ExtensibleCollectionType as available with a message added to
direct the developer to the right protocol.

In r26737, Sema was changed to not wrap Self occurring in a protocol
extension in a DynamicSelf. The commit message was rather terse but
I believe this is because the metadata for Self is bound to the static
base type, not the runtime base type.
However, we still need to substitute Self in the return type for the
static base type in the case where the base is an existential,
otherwise we get an open existential type leaking out.
Also remove the default argument for replaceCovariantResultType(),
every call site passed in a value and it seems bad to omit it on
accident.
Fixes <rdar://problem/21433694>.

This makes it clearer that expressions like "foo.myType.init()" are creating new objects, instead of invoking a weird-looking method. The last part of rdar://problem/21375845.

... and since they can only use required initializers (or those found
in a protocol), one can use them when constructing metatypes. Fixes

String itsef should only expose Unicode-correct algorithms, like proper
substring/prefix/suffix search, enumerating words/lines/paragraphs, case
folding etc. Promoting sequence-centric algorithms to methods on String
is not acceptable since it invites users to write wrong code. Thus,
String has to lose its SequenceType conformance.
Nevertheless, we recognize that sometimes it is useful to manipulate the
String contents on lower levels (UTF-8, UTF-16, Unicode scalars,
extended grapheme clusters), for example, when implementing high-level
Unicode operations, so we can't remove low-level operations
altogether. For this reason, String provides nested "views" for the
first three low-level representations, but grapheme clusters were in a
privileged position -- String itself is a collection of grapheme
clusters. We propose to add a characters view that will represent the
String as a collection of Character values.

This isn't the right solution; we should be folding open-existentials
into the LValue machinery rather than subverting it. However, the test
cases are useful for we do get the right solution in place.
Swift SVN r27103
To properly deal with mutating methods on protocol extensions accessed through an existential (such as a property or subscript setter), open the existential as an lvalue so that its value can be mutated.
As part of this, make sure we form any OpenExistentialExprs at the top level of the expression if we didn't manage to build them sooner. This is a fairly ad hoc approach that I am not happy with (these could probably be placed better with a post-pass), but the cost of opening too early is fairly minimal.
Swift SVN r27068
To use members of protocol extensions on existential types, we
introduce an OpenExistentialExpr expression to open up the existential
type (into a local archetype) and perform the operations on that local
archetype.
Unlike with uses of initializers or dynamic-Self-producing
methods of protocols, which produce similar ASTs, we have the type
checker perform the "open" operation and then track it through
constraint application. This scheme is better (because it's more
direct), but it's still using a simplistic approach to deciding where
the actual OpenExistentialExpr goes that needs improvement.
Swift SVN r26964
These are simple implementations of some operations we expect to see
in the standard library, based on some work from Dmitri and Dave.
Swift SVN r26729
Start parsing a "trailing" where clause for extension declarations, which follows the extended type name and (optional) inheritance clause. Such a where clause is only currently permitted for protocol extensions right now.
When used on a protocol extension, it allows one to create a more-constrained protocol extension, e.g.,
extension CollectionType where Self.Generator.Element : Equatable { ... }
which appears to be working, at least in the obvious cases I've tried.
More cleanup, tests, and penance for the previous commit's "--crash" introductions still to come.
Swift SVN r26689
Remove the semantic restrictions that prohibited extensions of
protocol types, and start making some systematic changes so that
protocol extensions start to make sense:
- Replace a lot of occurrences of isa<ProtocolDecl> and
dyn_cast<ProtocolDecl> on DeclContexts to use the new
DeclContext::isProtocolOrProtocolExtensionContext(), where we want
that behavior to apply equally to protocols and protocol extensions.
- Eliminate ProtocolDecl::getSelf() in favor of
DeclContext::getProtocolSelf(), which produces the appropriate
generic type parameter for the 'Self' of a protocol or protocol
extension. Update all of the callers of ProtocolDecl::getSelf()
appropriately.
- Update extension validation to appropriately form generic
parameter lists for protocol extensions.
- Methods in protocol extensions always use the witnesscc calling
convention.
At this point, we can type check and SILGen very basic definitions of
protocol extensions (without associated types, IRGen crashes, etc.)
with methods that can call protocol requirements, generic free
functions, and other methods within the same protocol extension.
This is identical to r26579; the prior commit addressed the underlying
conformance substitution problem that caused rdar://problem/20320393
and subsequent reversion of r26579.
