[swift-evolution] [idea] errors in properties

[Gor Gyolchanyan]

This sounds like a challenge 🙂 
But seriously, seems like straight-up implementing the feature and then wondering whether or not the pull request will be merged in or rejected is an unnecessary gamble, which is why swift-evolution exists.
Haven’t anyone tried to make a proposal for this?
I’d gladly look into implementing it myself if I new for sure that my efforts wouldn’t be wasted.
