At DaveA's suggestion, I took a mostly mechanical approach to this:
pointers and numeric types start using += 1, and indexes use
i = i.successor(). The index model is likely to be revised in
Swift 3 anyway, so micro-optimizing this code syntactically isn't
super important.
There is some performance concern of this patch, since some
in-place succesor operations are more efficient than
i = i.successor(). The one that seems particularly at issue is the
instance in the implementation of partition(), which I changed to
use i._successorInPlace(). If other instances lead to a perf issue,
they can be changed to use that as well.
The standard library has grown significantly, and we need a new
directory structure that clearly reflects the role of the APIs, and
allows future growth.
See stdlib/{public,internal,private}/README.txt for more information.
