I agree with John, the best thing for actually using Swift is to allow
tuple destructuring here, and the outermost parentheses (around the entire
parameter list of a closure) should continue to be optional. Requiring
double-parens would seem unnecessarily and arbitrarily…whatever the
opposite of “convenient” is.
