That is, if a would-be witness to a protocol requirement is only accessible because its module has been imported with
@testable
, consider that "good enough" to satisfy the rule that a witness must be available everywhere the protocol and conforming type are both available (because those other contexts could have done their own testable import, and also shouldn't have to know that this file needed one to conform to the protocol).This re-enables some patterns that would have been allowed pre-SE-0025.
