[swift-evolution] [Proposal][Discussion] Deprecate Tuple Shuffles

[Xiaodi Wu]

The identifier after a colon is *never* a type in any pattern matching, and
there's no need of which I'm aware to support type annotations in pattern
matching. We put colons after labels, and the current syntax is perfectly
consistent here. What is the defect you're trying to cure?
