The support is gated by a frontend option, -enable-operator-designated-protocols.
This means that in an operator declaration we can declare a protocol
which has one or more requirements specifying this operator. The
operators from that designated protocol will be the first ones we try
when type checking an expression. If we successfully typecheck using
the operators specified in that protocol, we do not attempt any other
overloads of the same operator.
This makes it possible to dramatically speed up successful
typechecking.
