+1, because:
  - I believe the default/generic "printing" initializer is not commonly
used (at least, not on purpose).
  - The new argument label clearly indicates what the initializer does.
  - The "lossless" protocol will be a welcome addition for
serialization/deserialization code, and it makes the replacement init(_:)
API very clear in its behavior.

Yes.


>         * Does this proposal fit well with the feel and direction of Swift?
>
Yes, it fits well with the API guidelines.


>         * If you have used other languages or libraries with a similar
> feature, how do you feel that this proposal compares to those?
>
N/A


>         * How much effort did you put into your review? A glance, a quick
> reading, or an in-depth study?

Reviewed the initial proposal, followed and participated in the ensuing
discussion, and glanced at this second draft to remind myself of the final
changes.
