Protocol extension for a specific conforming class

You can write the default protocol implementation for a specific class.

protocol MyProtocol {
    func doSomething()
}

extension MyProtocol where Self: UIViewController {
    func doSomething() {
        print("UIViewController default protocol implementation")
    }
}

class MyViewController: UIViewController, MyProtocol { }

let vc = MyViewController()
vc.doSomething() // Prints "UIViewController default protocol implementation"

Found a mistake? Have a question or improvement idea? Let me know.
