[swift-evolution] Revisiting SE-0110

[Ray Fix]

FWIW, after doing a project migration last night and this morning, I am reluctantly +1 for reverting SE-0110 and seeing a new proposal that can be properly evaluated.  The split-the-difference compromise mentioned seems like just that, a compromise that will need to be revisited anyway.

While I agreed with the spirit of the original proposal, the assertion that "Minor changes to user code may be required if this proposal is accepted.” seems like it underestimated the magnitude of the impact. In almost every case, my code lost clarity.

Other aspects of the migration went quite smoothly.

BTW, if I were at WWDC this year I would be in the Swift lab pestering them about this.  Hopefully that feedback is happening. :)
