[swift-evolution] [Proposal] Allow passing a variadic parameter to another variadic function

[Christopher Boyd]

Vladimir,

True, but does the extra syntax actually accomplish anything?

>From my example:

   - func arithmeticMean(numbers: Double...) -> Double {
   - return add(numbers) / Double(numbers.count)
   - }


It's clear that the intent is to pass all the numbers to add().

What, exactly, does adding the #splat() syntax achieve?  It doesn't add any
additional clarity.

Moreover, I don't think #splat has been accepted as a proposal yet.
