following C tradition to have declarations mimicking usage, the
weak/unowned specifier shall be on the left to the name, as the "self"
itself is on the left: self.foo

maybe a too wild idea, but how about this:

weak func foo() {
   ...
}

as a special case of "weak self" specifier. instead of:

func foo() { [weak self] in
   ...
}

of course it doesn't address everything that can be achieved by general
capture list specifiers.
