[swift-evolution] [Review] SE-0088: Modernize libdispatch for Swift 3 naming conventions

[Ricardo Parada]

Jacob Bandes-Storch suggested:

synchronously(execute work: …)

So maybe that will conform to the API naming guideline?  Or would the verb have to be in the base name of the func?

Or perhaps:

synchronously(dispatch work: …)
asynchronously(dispatch work: …)
