[swift-evolution] [Proposal draft #2] Naming Functions with Argument Labels

[Patrick Smith]

Regarding the alternative syntax of:


  aGameView.insertSubview(_, aboveSubview: _)



I find it preferable because:


1. It works with autocomplete nicely. I just autocomplete, then tab and enter '_' for each argument.
2. It doesn’t require thinking about a different syntax to the arguments, it’s more natural just to picture how you would write the method itself, rather than having to write '_:' for the first argument.


For partial application of methods, I would just ignore that use case for now. It’s either call the method, or get a reference to it.
