I like this proposal, as it eliminate redundant code.

I think any code redundancy represents a problems that needs to be addressed, and hence the answer to the question is "yes".

> Does this proposal fit well with the feel and direction of Swift?
Yes.

> If you have used other languages or libraries with a similar feature, how do you feel that this proposal compares to those?
Ruby has a similar operator, which I have always found extremely handy, especially when initializing from configuration files.

> How much effort did you put into your review? A glance, a quick reading, or an in-depth study?
I read the proposal thoroughly. It didn't need in-depth study, given my familiarity with Ruby.
