Two reasons, which were in the chunk of text which was TL;DR (couldn’t make it shorter), I tried this and lots of other things

1) making FooImplementedWithArray internal downgrades the foo() function to internal within that protocol, no longer is it public (this is made explicit by a compiler warning which tells you you’re implementing an internal function as public if you try doing it)
2) anything implementing FooImplementedWithArray can at *most* be internal, you can’t have a public class implement an internal protocol

So that doesn’t give me what I need.
