Obviously this will require a good solution to the capture lists to replace the functionality and/or an attribute to opt-in to the current implicit behaviour, but I think it’s safer for it to be opt-in rather than the default.

capture could remain implicit for weak/unowned. Actually anything else for weak/owned may actually be meaningless (if you create a weak reference to a new copy of a value type then it’s just going to be nil I think, I could be mistaken).
