[swift-evolution] Making capturing semantics of local

[Howard Lovatt]

It would be easy to provide a fixit. How often are they actually used? I
rarely use them and all my use cases could be a closure instead.

Also see Mike Kluev example; local functions are arguably worse than
closures in all cases (provided that you can appropriately annotate the
function type).
