Swift 2: protocol extension UITableViewDataSource

Question

I play with protocol extensions and I have a problem. Maybe I want to achieve this. I have this platform:

//: Playground - noun: a place where people can play

import UIKit

protocol ArrayContainer {
    typealias T
    var array: [T] { get }
}

class MyViewController: UIViewController, ArrayContainer, UITableViewDataSource {
    typealias T = String
    var array = ["I am", "an Array"] 
}

extension UITableViewDataSource where Self: ArrayContainer {

    func numberOfSectionsInTableView(tableView: UITableView) -> Int {
        return 1
    }

    func tableView(tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
        return array.count
    }

    func tableView(tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
        // Whatever
        return UITableViewCell()
    }   
}

This is what I have and what I want:

• I have a protocol ArrayContainerthat has only types and an array that contains objects of this type typealias
• I have a protocol extension UITableViewDataSourcethat will be used, if the class is consistent with the Protocol ArrayController. This simply returns the number of elements in the array as the number of rows. The method is cellForRowAtIndexPathnot well implemented, but this is not a problem.
• I have a subclass UIViewControllercalled MyViewControllerthat implements both protocols.
