> 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.

Would the following be acceptable, or too dense?

let sub = ID.map { id in
  CKSubscription(recordType: typeName, predicate: predicate, subscriptionID: id, options: allMutations)
} ?? CKSubscription(recordType: typeName, predicate: predicate, options: allMutations)

Either way, I agree that immediately called closures should be implicitly @noescape.
