[swift-evolution] ternary operator ?: suggestion

[Andrew Brown]

Removing ?: is an excellent idea - but do we really need to replace it with anything new?
inline blocks seem to provide much more flexibility with the current language with no new keywords and a much clearer intent

let myColor = (
  match yourColor
  case .Blue:  .Red
  case .Green: .Blue
  case .Red:   .Blue
)

let myColor : Color = {
  switch (yourColor) {
    case .Red:   return .Green
    case .Green: return .Blue
    case .Blue:  return .Red
  }
}()
