[swift-evolution] [pitch] One-sided Ranges

[Félix Cloutier]

template<typename... T>
void foo(T... args)
{
	return bar(args...);
}

In this bad but simple example, bar is called with the same* parameters as foo. Parameter unpacking uses the postfix … operator.

* To some extent. Doing the right thing adds a lot of noise.
