[swift-evolution] About "default" keyword in switch statement

[星野恵瑠]

p.s.

I've read this mail and totally understand that Swift is designed to be familiar with C family languages, which "default" is widely used.
https://github.com/apple/swift-evolution/blob/master/commonly_proposed.md

But since Swift 3.0 has already make many source breaking changes and supports many features which most C family languages don't have, like labels in functions (except Objective-C, I guess), "inout" keyword in functions, etc, and one of Swift's goals is to make syntax "clear," hope we can re-consider the "default" keyword.

Thanks for your time.
