[swift-evolution] Swift Closure still inconsistent -- tuple names need to be in curly brackets, single parameter needs to be in parentheses

The above code is valid, because:

   1. Multi-return is just a type of tuple with labeled components.
   2. Labeled tuples and normal tuples are implicitly convertible.

The only way we could make such code invalid is by removing labeled tuples
altogether. -1 on that.
This problem mostly refers to code style, and the above variant can be more
self-documenting in some cases.

Also, again for consistency and clarity, parameters in Closures should

>
>     for number in numbers {
>         number % 2 == 0 ? evenNumberArray.append(number) :
> oddNumberArray.append(number)
>     }
>
>     return (evenNumberArray, oddNumberArray)

This should be considered a bug. numbers in or (numbers) in or (numbers) ->
(...) in, but not numbers -> (...) in, because the latter forms should be
correct types.
Whether or not just numbers in should be allowed, is another talk.
