[swift-evolution] Proposal SE-0009 Reconsideration

[Sean Heber]

I think it is too easy to just add warnings for warts and call it a day. These problems, IMO, should be addressed somehow eventually - but not with a warning. Either Swift decides these situations are errors and refuses to enable them at all, or the constructs involved should be carefully reconsidered and changed to prevent them from even happening or being encouraged in the first place.

So in short: I too do not agree to adding optional warnings. :)
