OK.. could you clarify, so, after the changes, we will not be able to pass 
`func f()->()` as parameter where parameter of type `typealias MyFunc<T> = 
(T) -> Void` is expected, right?

And what about the result type? What does `-> ()` now will mean? still 
"implicitly returns Void" or "returns nothing"? Or in case you want to 
return Void you'll need to write `-> Void` ?

And most likely I'm missing something, but I don't see where SE-0066 
mentions this aspect (disallow implicit Void argument in function which is 
defined as '()->()'), as I understand it is only about requirement of 
parentheses in declaration like Int->Int. Could you point me please?
