[swift-evolution] Shortcut for creating arrays

[Ross O'Brien]

Well, you can do this already:
let words = "rats live on no evil star".componentsSeparatedByString(" ")
so I don't know how much a shortcut is needed.

And given '%w' would currently be impossible in Swift as an operator
containing a letter, is there a Swiftier function name or operator for this?
