SwiftOr

Adds an Experimental "Or" type to Swift that can be one of two types using generics.

Usage Example:

Or can be initiallized like this

let zero = Or<String,Int>(0)
let one = Or<String,Int>(1)

let a = Or<String,Int>("a")
let b = Or<String,Int>("b")

You can access the values of Or by casting to the optional version of the type

let zero1 = zero.value() as String?
print(zero1) // nil
let zero2 = zero.value() as Int?
print(zero2) // Optional(0)

let a1 = a.value() as String?
print(a1) // Optional("a")
let a2 = a.value() as Int?
print(a2) // nil

You can also compare two Or instances

print(zero == zero) // true
print(zero < one) // true
print(zero < b) // false

Note: If the value inside of the Or instances are diffrent types the comparison always returns false.

Use Case:

One possible use case of this could be when interfacing with a dynamically language (e.g javascript) if a value can be one of two types.
