[swift-evolution] Proposal - Allow properties in Extensions

I agree. I think stored properties in extensions should only be visible in its scope. If we combine the idea with scope access modifier ( https://github.com/apple/swift-evolution/pull/64 ). We can make the rule that no stored property is allowed to expose from its extension.

+1/-1:

When the extension is in the same module, it's nice to be able to group all aspects of an extension in one place instead of being forced to declare properties in the definition.
But I guess the most important use case is to extend types that aren't in the same module, and I wouldn't like to see that hacking the runtime becomes a common thing to do.
