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

[Jacob Bandes-Storch]

This looks great. Thanks for revising. I'm now a +1 on this.

A couple more minor suggestions:

- Consider renaming setTimer(...) to resetTimer() or just reset(), or
something similar?

- Consider making Semaphore's wait() throw an error, rather than returning
non-zero, in the event of a timeout. Most common uses will be "try!
wait()". Or you could have waitForever() be a separate, non-throwing
function.
