[swift-dev] Location of "indirect" declaration modifier

[Marc Knaup]

I also agree that requiring the developer to specify the modifier does make
sense esp. with the performance downsides and the generic issue described
by Slava.

The example with the recursive struct makes sense! I forgot that in my
cases either an enum, an Optional (so an enum) or a protocol were breaking
that init cycle for recursive variables.
lazy private(set) var will probably also work although it's use is likely
limited.

Now I do have a good sense what is possible and how.
Thank you very much, Slava!
