[swift-evolution] [Review] SE-0040 Replacing Equal Signs with Colons For Attribute Arguments

[Adrian Kashivskyy]

> What is your evaluation of the proposal?

+1. Right now, attribute arguments are the only place in the grammar, where the equal sign is used apart of assignment.

> Is the problem being addressed significant enough to warrant a change to Swift?

Yes.

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

Yes. Replacing equal sign with a colon would resemble argument label syntax and make the attributes syntax more natural and consistent with the language.

> The goal of the review process is to improve the proposal under review through constructive criticism and, eventually, determine the direction of Swift. When writing your review, here are some questions you might want to answer in your review:
> 
> 	• What is your evaluation of the proposal?
> 	• Is the problem being addressed significant enough to warrant a change to Swift?
> 	• Does this proposal fit well with the feel and direction of Swift?
> 	• If you have used other languages or libraries with a similar feature, how do you feel that this proposal compares to those?
> 	• How much effort did you put into your review? A glance, a quick reading, or an in-depth study?
