> * What is your evaluation of the proposal?

I like the way this provides more harmonisation with Swift coding style.
Future extensibility seems to be well provided for.

If it were the only change, no. But anticipating on expected future enhancements, yes.


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

Yes

N.A. imo


> * How much effort did you put into your review? A glance, a quick reading, or an in-depth study?


Followed the discussion, quid read of proposal.
