[swift-evolution] [Pitch] Replace 'inout' with '&'

[Tahoma Toelkes]

+1

My sentiments exactly.  As I was catching up on this thread, this was almost exactly the syntax I was already considering mentioning when I encountered Erica's reply.

I don't know whether it will meet all requirements; however, from a readability perspective in both declarations and function type signatures, this syntax is the first of the suggestions that feels clear to me.
