[swift-evolution] Initialiser Helper

[Matthew Johnson]

You might be interested in taking a look at my proposal for partial initializers https://github.com/anandabits/swift-evolution/blob/partial-initializers/proposals/NNNN-partial-initializers.md

This proposal was tabled for Swift 3 but I hope to revisit the topic of improving initializers in when we ramp up Swift 4.
