[swift-evolution] [Pitch] Unifying init parameters with properties

[Ross O'Brien]

(re-added swift-evolution)

I would think so. It's an abbreviation of a given init function, so you
would call other self.init() or super.init() functions normally. Saves on
complication.


Alternatively, perhaps you could do this:

init(self.foo: String, super.bar: String, super.baz: Int)

as an abbreviation of
init(foo: String, bar: String, baz: Int)
{
    self.foo = foo
    super.init(bar: bar, baz: baz)
}

I think this would probably require allowing parameters to stay
re-orderable, though (in case super's init is "init(baz: Int, bar: String)"
).
