One of the implementations of rotate (for bidirectional collections) is implemented using a reverse in place algorithm—would that be a good one to add to the public API as well?

I don't see why not.

Hey Nate, are you still working on this?

I can take it for you ^^

I just realised that your comments were from 2016 XD

Then, I'll take it

Hi Felix - thanks for looking at this! There's an implementation of rotate in test/Prototypes/Algorithms.swift.gyb. You can take a look at that - there are a couple different approaches.

In any case, to add this to the standard library would require a Swift Evolution proposal. If you're interested in submitting one of those, you'll want to take a look at the one that was rejected for Swift 3 and the rationale there.

I believe rotate has been implemented in this file.

That's what it might look like, but that's not part of the standard library yet. (Notice it's under test/.)

Ahhh sorry about that. I don't know how I didn't notice.

@natecook1000 I have taken a look at your Swift Evolution proposal. This seems like a pretty interesting issue to start with! Would you be ok with me picking this up where you left it? I would love to apply another proposal taking into account all the feedback received in the review

Where would this algo go to, I mean in which file should this be implemented in?

See earlier comments for tips. This needs an evolution proposal, by the way. If you are interested, I suggest reading though the previous proposal and its review stages.
