> * What is your evaluation of the proposal?

I would be in favor if we make the change to square brackets that everyone is talking about.  Otherwise I am indifferent.


> * Is the problem being addressed significant enough to warrant a change to Swift?

I do feel that the current setter behavior is confusing.


> * Does this proposal fit well with the feel and direction of Swift?

As people have said, it doesn’t really fit with either function or property syntax, so we should consider the square bracket syntax.

> * If you have used other languages or libraries with a similar feature, how do you feel that this proposal compares to those?
N/A


> * How much effort did you put into your review? A glance, a quick reading, or an in-depth study?
Quick read of the proposal and discussion

Thanks,
Jon
