[swift-evolution] [Review] SE-0110: Distinguish between single-tuple and multiple-argument function types

[Vladimir.S]

Just want to brought some things/questions that was not reflected in 
proposal and that I think should be mentioned:

1. Should we be able to have such syntax to de-couple tuple's values in 
parameter of closure:

let a : ((Int, Int, Int)) -> Int = { ((x, y, z)) in return x + y + z }

or only as single parameter

let a : ((Int, Int, Int)) -> Int = { x in return x.0 + x.1 + x.2 }


2. Currently type of `(Int,Int)->()` is actually `((Int,Int))->()`

typealias t1 = (Int, Int) -> Int
print(t1.self) // ((Int, Int)) -> Int

the proposal should change this to:

print(t1.self) // (Int, Int) -> Int
where `((Int, Int)) -> Int` means one tuple argument


3. It seems like we should keep the ability to explicitly convert one 
function type to another as some(many?) code can depend on this current 
behavior and so we need a way to convert old code to new.

I.e. I think such construction should work:

var a : ((Int, Int, Int)) -> Int = { x in return x.0 + x.1 + x.2 }

a = { x, y, z in return x + y + z} as ((Int, Int, Int)) -> Int

and

var b : (Int, Int, Int) -> Int = { x, y, z in return x + y + z }

b = { x in return x.0 + y.1 + z.2} as (Int, Int, Int) -> Int


Opinions/thoughts?
