The "Approaches for fixed-size arrays" forum post mentions a potential new generic feature, allowing the size of a fixed array to be expressed in Swift's type system. I believe this feature may supersede ANKFullWidth's partitioning model. I need something that can be partitioned and scaled up and down in size statically - which is why I'm not using tuples.

A generic static integer count is also preferred because it is path independent. Using generic partitions, it is possible to end up with equivalent, but different, types - which is a bit lame.

Another thing you can do with generic integer parameters, if you forgo divide-and-conquer strategies, is build UInt4096 without any of the intermediate models.
