[swift-evolution] [Pitch] Make the first parameter in a function declaration follow the same rules as the others

[Shawn Erickson]

I could have easily screwed up my grep but doing spot checks on the
resulting data sets I didn't spot an issue. I did make assumptions about
how well formed the data set was.

[shawnce:~/Downloads/swift-3-api-guidelines-review-swift-3]
[0:554]> grep -R "func [A-Za-z0-9]*([A-Za-z0-9]* [A-Za-z0-9]*:" Platforms/
| wc -l
   10587

[shawnce:~/Downloads/swift-3-api-guidelines-review-swift-3]
[0:555]> grep -R "func [A-Za-z0-9]*(_ [A-Za-z0-9]*:" Platforms/ | wc -l
   21654

[shawnce:~/Downloads/swift-3-api-guidelines-review-swift-3]
[0:556]> grep -R "func [A-Za-z0-9]*([A-Za-z0-9]* _:" Platforms/ | wc -l
       0

[shawnce:~/Downloads/swift-3-api-guidelines-review-swift-3]
[0:557]> grep -R "func [A-Za-z0-9]*([A-Za-z0-9]*:" Platforms/ | wc -l
      14

[shawnce:~/Downloads/swift-3-api-guidelines-review-swift-3]
[0:558]> grep -R "func [A-Za-z0-9]*()" Platforms/ | wc -l
    7190
