+1 - I’m in favor of it.

Yes

Yes. The point of trailing closure syntax is to allow user-defined functions to look like natural control flow statements. This is especially true for guard and the omission of the capability is an obvious oversight. The arguments against it seem to be arguments against trailing closure syntax entirely which is a separate issue from this proposal. So long as trailing closure syntax exists it should be usable in a guard statement.

Reading the proposal and the various threads, plus some thinking time.
