[swift-evolution] [Accepted] SE-0064: Referencing the Objective-C selector of property getters and setters

[Jacob Bandes-Storch]

http://apple.github.io/swift-internals/api-design-guidelines/

It's a matter of interpretation, but:

    "Prefer method and function names that make use sites form grammatical
English phrases."

Maybe I'm missing something, but I can't figure out how to read
#selector(setter: Person.name). My second suggestion reads clearly as "the
selector for setting Person.name".
