[swift-evolution] [Pitch] Including yes/no in stdlib as aliases for true/false

[Goffredo Marocchi]

I think the descriptive/natural language aspect of Objective-C and Cocoa was and is a strength that should be kept in Swift too. 
It may be perceived as a pragmatist attempt to simplify the language somewhat or make it appear friendlier, but it is not a bad thing in and of itself.
