I would prefer to simply expand `<...>` to refer to type arguments in general, rather than simply generic arguments, and keep the `Any` syntax. The argument made by a few people in the previous thread that `<...>` is supposedly associated primarily with generics is not compelling to me; it's currently used for protocol composition already, and there are generic features (constrained extensions) that don't use it.

(Consider this my weak -0.5 review against a proposal I helped to author.)
