Description note_isolate_conformance_to_global_actor doesn't check if the protocol refines SendableMetatype. If it does, an isolated conformance isn't allowed, so this is a bad suggestion.

Description When creating a typealias that partially specializes a generic type, the compiler generates an error when attempting to extend that type via the typealias. Steps to reproduce Create a Generic type with two type parameters. struct Field<Tag,Value> { let tag: Tag let value: Value } Define a typealias which specializes one of the type parameters as such : typealias IntField<Tag> = Field<Tag,Int> Define an extension based on the typealias: extension IntField { func adding(_ value: Int) -> Self { Field(tag: tag, value: self.value + value) } } Expected behavior I would expect this code to compile. Instead the compiler complained: "Binary operator '+' cannot be applied to operands of type 'Value' and 'Int'" If instead of extending the typealias, I extend the type directly it compiles fine as such: extension Field where Value == Int { func adding(_ value: Int) -> Self { Field(tag: tag, value: self.value + value) } } Environment Swift compiler version info swift

Description This is not true. The attribute can also be used on declarations such as types, functions, and imports.
