[swift-evolution] Should explicit `self.` be required when providing method as closure?

[Anton Zhilin]

I disagree with dropping function references in general, but I do agree
with limiting partially applied method references.

In @escaping arguments, adding self. won’t add enough evidence that it
actually creates a closure with capture.
Even in non-escaping context, I find plain method references odd:

func square(_ x: Int) -> Int { … }

(1...10).map(square)  // totally ok with that
class SomeClass {
    func foo(_ x: Int) -> Int { … }

    func bar() {
        (1...10).map(foo)       // what??
        (1...10).map(self.foo)  // ok
        someControl.addHandler(self.foo)  // should be error if @escaping?
    }
}

I encountered this precise memory leak in my code a few days ago, so I
