[swift-evolution] [Discussion] Enum Leading Dot Prefixes

[David Waite]

Erica,

The current spec has the following line:

> static func staticFunc2() { let foo = .Tails } // requires leading dot

The leading dot requirement does not exist today for references to static properties and functions from a static function.

Is your proposal to:
- require a dot in front of static properties/functions in this case as well for consistency across all static things
- require a dot only in front of the case statements, to promote consistency only for use of cases within an enum
- or, do you wish to change your mind about this particular case?
