[swift-evolution] Initialiser Helper

[James Campbell]

I would like to be able to use functions to help me initilise a class or
struct so I can break down a init into seperate methods, like so:

struct Person {

let age: Int

init (json: Dictionary) {
// lots of code

age = json["age"]
}

}

This can become un-wieldly, so I would love to be able to do this:


struct Person {

let age: Int

init (json: Dictionary) {
// lots of code

age = getAge(json)
}

private func getAge(json: Dictionary) -> Int {

}

}
