[swift-evolution] Move where clause to end of declaration

[Pyry Jahkola]

Thank you for the effort David, this is great!

Considering this example:

I originally had the opinion that this should be further changed for consistency into the following form:

func anyCommonElements<T, U>(lhs: T, _ rhs: U) -> Bool where
    T : SequenceType,
    U : SequenceType,
    T.Generator.Element : Equatable,
    T.Generator.Element == U.Generator.Element
{
    ...
}
However, I do agree now that in the simple case highlighted below it makes no sense to use the where clause at all:

Of course, the proposal doesn't prevent anyone from moving all inheritance constraints into the where clause, so maybe we should point out that it's also possible to further simplify the first line of function declarations that way. It just remains a stylistic choice left for the developer to choose.

Anyway, +1! Did you make a pull request already?
