[swift-evolution] More verbose logical operators

Hi all,

Swift is said to be a verbose and easy to read programming language.
However, I see Swift is still using cryptic symbols for logical operators.

! for not
|| for or
&& for and

Here I propose a new logical operators that are more swiftish.

'not' for not
'or' for or
'and' for and

So, instead of:

if !foo1 || foo2 && foo3 { … }

we could write it as:

if not foo1 or foo2 and foo3 { … }

which is much more readable because it's less cryptic.

What do you think?

Thank you.

Regards,
