Mid-call closure can mean one of several things:

1. Bad design
2. Multiple closures
3. Design before Swift / ObjC focused

To which:

1. Well, not sure that should be "fixed"
2. I think multiple closures should all be treated the same without trailing
3's a different kind of thing. I vaguely endorse having Cocoa request how it should be imported beyond the SE-0005 rules. 

We were kicking around some ideas on "how should defaults embetter" that this kind of relates to: https://gist.github.com/erica/3987ec54b8f4a580ae5fc18f4e9e7ca5 <https://gist.github.com/erica/3987ec54b8f4a580ae5fc18f4e9e7ca5>  In this example, I can see a rule of "if there's only one closure named animation, completion, etc, promote it to the last argument". Kind of.
