[swift-evolution] [Accepted] SE-0115: Rename Literal Syntax Protocols

[Jacob Bandes-Storch]

Tangential: Is there any way to make it impossible to call these
literal-initializers explicitly, instead requiring "<literal> as T" or just
"<literal>" in a typed context?

I have seen several explicit calls of these initializers where literals
would have been more appropriate, such as "Set(arrayLiteral: foo, bar)",
and I think this only happens because folks find these initializers via
code completion. I can't think of any reason why you'd want to invoke one
by name rather than by using a literal.
