You would be able to name a value of function type (whether it be a local variable, function argument, or property) with either a simple name (in which case there would be no labels at all), or a compound name with as many semicolons as arguments. Would you have any objection to this?

Would this compound name also affect how functions are referenced? I would assume no. 

Also, how do typealiases work then? It's still desirable to not have to couple the labels there with the labels within the function declaration. So if:

typealias MyCallback = (original: Image, resized: Image) -> Void

Meant that these were equivalent:

func doResizeB(image: Image, completed(original:resized:): (Image, Image) -> Void)

func doResizeB(image: Image, completed: MyCallback)

I probably wouldn't have any real objection.
