First-Class Protocols

[puffnfresh]

I'd love to see a version of Fantasy Land which takes advantage of @michaelficarra's First-Class Protocols proposal:

Michael told me about this proposal last night. It seems to be a natural fit for Fantasy Land! Define chain, receive join, and so on. :)

@puffnfresh see https://github.com/gabejohnson/fantasy-interfaces

It's based on an older version of the proposal.

@gabejohnson I like it!! @michaelficarra what's up with the proposal? I think it's something perfect for Fantasy Land.

@puffnfresh The proposal is making steady progress. The recently-solved instance coherence issue has unblocked it, and it should be ready for stage 2 advancement soon after those changes are integrated. For stage 2, I will have to convince the committee that this particular feature is the best way to solve the problems it claims to solve, especially in comparison to the competing "mixins" proposal.

@michaelficarra any news on this?
