Unfortunately I have no ability for this right now, so someone who is 
interested in this could take the idea and create a 'formal' proposal.

I also think that the choice between them should be a style choice, not one made by the language (as with semicolon) and if anyone chooses commas they should have the utility of the current proposal available to them.

Don't you feel like this proposal(SE-0084) should be extended to list of 
generic types at least, or even to allow trailing comma in any 
comma-separated list in Swift? I.e. you are saying +1, but probably the 
exact proposal should be improved to have your +1.

Probably (if this is allowed) the author of this proposal (SE-0084) can add 
'line-break separator feature' to his/her proposal and generalize the rule 
of trailing comma/line-breaks for any comma-separated list in Swift?

As I can see, the proposal SE-0084 'per se' has more negative comments than 
positive(even if some from @apple.com supports it) and I feel like extended 
proposal can have more support.
