[swift-evolution] [Review] SE-0024 "Optional Value Setter `??=`"

[Tal Atlas]

I think that overall this is a good operator that eventually should get in.
At this point though the wins that this would bring are probably not worth
the added complexity to the language.

As Joe said the primary use case for the hammer operator `||=` in ruby is
not even covered by this operator, so it’s use would be far more limited
than in those languages.
