Are variadic protocol functions supposed to work?

[Chris]

There is an old thread from last year about broken variadic functions
defined in a protocol [1]. It ended with a question as to whether it
was ever intended for protocols to support variadic functions, but it
was never answered. I just ran into this issue myself and am curious;
I don't recall seeing it documented anywhere that variadic functions
weren't supported.

Thanks,
Chris

It is not supported right now, and probably will not ever be supported.  Protocol methods are intended to be a "low-level" mechanism, with higher-level APIs, including variable arity, built out of ordinary functions.
