[swift-evolution] Swift support for automatically sharing small code fragments with other iOS developers.

[Roshan]

Correct me if I am wrong, but what you want is to share code fragments from
a given codebase which wouldn't compile on their own(say, because they
depend on parts of the codebase you don't want to share) but do contain
compiler annotations as if they were compiled as part of the original
codebase.

To me this looks like more of a development tool thing than a language
thing.
