@slava Thanks for checking!

As long as that func has visibility internal (or lower), it won't affect other code though, right?
Not that I (usually) overload stdlib operators anyway…

This is just something I have a hate-love relationship with in C#, which behaves similar to SQL in this, where using nulls with operators results in null.

Out of curiosity: Would such an operator in user code benefit from special optimizations? I reckon such operators in the stdlib are "mapped” to ASM operations?

@slava I love these insights!

Now given the following function:

func +<T: AdditiveArithmetic>(lhs: T?, rhs: T?) -> T? {
guard let lhs, let rhs else { return nil }
return lhs + rhs
}

Would that have A) sped up the process in 6.3 and B) does it slow down with the changes now made?

My guess from what you've described would be "yes" for the former and "no" for the latter…

@lapcatsoftware They might be on to something, though. I can only reproduce this with a trackpad. Using a regular (magic) mouse does not cause this behavior.
