/// A type that provides subscript access to its elements, with bidirectional
/// index traversal.
///
/// In most cases, it's best to ignore this protocol and use the

public typealias BidirectionalIndexable = BidirectionalCollection

/// A collection that supports backward as well as forward traversal.
///
/// Bidirectional collections offer traversal backward from any valid index,
/// not including a collection's `startIndex`. Bidirectional collections can
/// therefore offer additional operations, such as a `last` property that
/// provides efficient access to the last element and a `reversed()` method
/// that presents the elements in reverse order. In addition, bidirectional
/// collections have more efficient implementations of some sequence and
/// collection methods, such as `suffix(_:)`.
///
/// Conforming to the BidirectionalCollection Protocol
/// ==================================================
///
/// To add `BidirectionalProtocol` conformance to your custom types, implement
/// the `index(before:)` method in addition to the requirements of the
/// `Collection` protocol.
///
/// Indices that are moved forward and backward in a bidirectional collection
/// move by the same amount in each direction. That is, for any index `i` into
/// a bidirectional collection `c`:
///
/// - If `i >= c.startIndex && i < c.endIndex`,
///   `c.index(before: c.index(after: i)) == i`.
/// - If `i > c.startIndex && i <= c.endIndex`
///   `c.index(after: c.index(before: i)) == i`.
