An option which goes against Swift being as explicit as possible is to support abbreviated scope, in addition to the full name:

access(g)
access(m)
access(f)
access(s)

For the last one, it may be easier if it was access(local) and access(l).

On first encounter, these gmfl may be a bit puzzling, but they should be no harder to remember than the rwx of Unix file accessibility.
