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

[Sean Heber]

I don’t know if this is a problem per-say, but very likely the API would often be used in code looking more like this:

DispatchQueue.main.dispatchAsynch {
 // stuff
}

And maybe this is just me, but the double occurrence of the word “dispatch” in there rubs me the wrong way. :P

This is probably silly, but we’re dealing with a “queue” here, so in some ways, could’t we “add” work to the queues or something?

DispatchQueue.main.add(.asynchronously) {
 // async..
}
