> This closure obviously never leaves the enclosing function, but Swift doesn’t treat it as if it had been passed to a @noescape function, so I have to say “self.ID” instead of “ID” in the condition. That’s a bit irritating, and I’d like to see it improved.

Seems reasonable, especially because SILGen peepholes { }() so that it doesn't even allocate a closure to begin with.
