[swift-evolution] Allowing `guard let self = self else { … }` for weakly captured self in a closure.

[Patrick Smith]

How about [weak(guard) self]? It would only work with closures returning -> () as if you are weakly capturing something you are likely to be messaging that not returning some, so they can be ignored.

networkRequest.fetchData() { [weak(guard) self] result in
    switch result {
    case .succeeded(let data):
        self.processData(data)

    case .failed(let err):
        self.handleError(err)
    }
}
