[swift-evolution] RFC: didset and willset

[Ricardo Parada]

If I remember correctly the property behaviors proposal it seemed that accessors such as willSet, didSet, willRead, etc. were being called.  I look at them at the same level as instance methods, properties, etc. and should follow camelCase. Not to mention that I think they look so much better camelCase. 

When we start having accessors made up of three or more lowercase conjoined words we are going to realize what a bad choice it was to switch these to lowercase.  

I think they should stay camelCase. Please. :-)

This means, for example, that dynamicType already has the correct case even though it is a keyword.  I would like to see this exemption added to the proposal.

If we agree on lowercase for user-defined accessors (which is Chris’s stated preference) I support the change to willset and didset.
