[swift-evolution] [Review] SE-0122: Use colons for subscript declarations

[Vladimir.S]

+1 to clean up the syntax of subscripts. They acts as properties, not 
methods, so it is natural to express them with `:` and not with `->`.

Actually, I'd prefer additional change to use [] instead of () in 
declaration like:

subscript[externalName internalName: ParamType] : ElementType {
     get { … }
     set { … }
}

especially if thinking about "Future directions" and confusion with 
parameterised accessor syntax(both declared with `()` but first used with 
`[]` and second with `()`).
