The underlying reason that this is disallowed for Swift 4 is the same as the underlying reason that a closure immediately passed as an argument (with with mismatching function type) is disallowed for Swift 4 (i.e. the “tuple destructuring” case). It might be possible to relax restrictions to allow one of these without allowing the other.

Ah yes. I was distracted while writing that reply and didn't finish the implementation. That looks right, thanks!
I definitely understand the ambiguity issue but there was something nice about being able to think of arguments as tuples. I just wish the disambiguation could have operated in the opposite direction.
