[swift-evolution] Should we incorporate bunches of new operators / micro-syntactic sugar?

[Stephen Celis]

Such an operator was proposed here: https://github.com/apple/swift-evolution/blob/60a8980a66a0a1341871ec323797c5547d0e0925/proposals/0024-optional-value-setter.md

It was ultimately rejected: https://lists.swift.org/pipermail/swift-evolution-announce/2016-February/000043.html
