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

[Duan]

I have a patch that implements this proposal *except* this part. (aka () -> Void means 0 argument therefore { _ in } is a mismatch).

If we were to interpret tuple and the outer paren as described in this proposal, it should be consistent everywhere, therefore requires more consideration (separate proposal) and bigger change in the compiler.

So, if you want you can write f(()) or or let z = (); f(z); or just f(), so in closure definition you can have one argument or can have 0 defined arguments if the only argument is of type Void.
